Criticism of The Standard
Opponents of the WorkChoices reforms, such as the Australian Council of Trade Unions, have a range of criticisms of the changes. In terms of the Standard, the main criticisms have been that it will not protect minimum wages and that it will undermine many current conditions and entitlements workers previously enjoyed. The possibility for cashing out annual leave, although only possible under specific conditions, has also been cited as something which undermines current entitlements.

Famous quotes containing the words criticism and/or standard:
“The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art—and, by analogy, our own experience—more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Where shall we look for standard English but to the words of a standard man?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
