This paper discusses the approach of the previous Coalition government to managing the public sector workforce and the emerging approach of the Labor goverment. The comparison of contrasting governmental approaches to public sector employment relations throughout the 1990s suggests that successive governments have balanced very differently the three main pressures they have faced: political, managerialist and industrial relations
