I've studied the period a little and have had a bit of a Google and can't find any references. Got a link?

I'll hunt down the text (somewhere in my loft) when I get a minute.

Are you going to post a link to your loft!

My advice is blow it up nice and big on a photocopier and stick it to your roof. Next time Google Maps come overhead you can post a link.

not.

until I locate the text and can quote the title, author, print yr, publisher, you might live a jr hartley moment and search a few 2nd-hand bookshops.

alternatively, you could cut the sarcasm, sit back in the oz sun and simply wait.

I can only find information regarding a maximum wage of $25,000 a year.

This links to a letter responding to a request to try and amend this .

the second link is longer and I found the paragraph relating to this by doing a search for the word "Maximum"

I am still not sure it even got through ....it looks like the result was $200,000 a year .....But I may be wrong.
This was an austerity measure for the war by the look of it.
Still a nice idea ...
Can't see it getting past the golden rule policy though .....

I thought we were talking about people reapplying for their jobs. As there are a lot of employees this is going to be a very expensive process.

How do you think this should be paid for? More higher taxes, less spending or just bung it on the good old National Debt?

I think you have misunderstood what I was saying. I am not having a go at the lower level bank workers who I don't blame in the slightest for this huge disaster. It is the buffoons at the top who have stuffed their snouts in the trough while letting the companies go to hell. That is the standard of leadership we get for hundreds sometimes millions of pounds per year then. A man off the street placed in a similar high position would struggle to lose the money these clowns have.
So no need to have thosuands re-applying for their jobs(not that I suggested that anyway). Also any wage cap could be introduced to new directors or to ones that have had their contracts come to an end.

My post was meant to be a gentle joke, not sarcastic. Sorry if it came across as such.

As for the Aussie sun, it's cold. It only got to 13C here yesterday and I'm heading into the Souhern Highlands at the w/e where it's going to be bloody freezing.
