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:
“I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.”
—Herbert Hoover (18741964)
“Gentlemen, those confederate flags and our national standard are what has made this union great. In what other country could a man who fought against you be permitted to serve as judge over you, be permitted to run for reelection and bespeak your suffrage on Tuesday next at the poles.”
