Government negotiators and PSA Officials appeared before Deputy President Hampton of the South Australian Industrial Relations Commission this afternoon to report back on the current wages dispute.

Yet again, Government negotiators advised that there is no revised offer as Government believed that the current offer is “fair and reasonable”.

It is clear that the Government's tactics are to try and prevent a full day stoppage on 26 March rather than seeking a resolution to this dispute.

Deputy President Hampton will issue a statement in due course.
