Looking ahead, however, it will be tighter regulatory compliance, rather than economics or geopolitics, that adds further cost pressures, squeezing out some players but also creating opportunities for new technology to help mitigate the impact of such change.

Australia has long prided itself on its fair and equitable workplace practices - going back as far as 1907, when Justice Higgin's judgment in the Harvester case established the "basic wage".
