Here's a quick way to make a big step towards catching up with wages in Australia
Kill the Cult of overwork.
Go to a 32 hour working week but keep gross/net annual wages the same.
Expect productivity not to decrease significantly, in fact it might even increase.
(see also the rules of productivity presentation)
Bonus - as more people get hired to cover the hours that everyone else is no longer working in our 24hour world unemployment will take a dive as well (and national productivity will increase).
