THE AUSTRALIAN FINANCIAL REVIEW:

Page 1: Employers have less power to stand down workers in slow periods, direct them
to take holidays and control expensive stockpiles of accrued leave as a result of changes
to the industrial relations laws. Kerry Stokes's Seven Network is now king of the television
sector. The federal government is pressuring AWB to revise a break fee said to be worth
$400 million that wheat growers may be forced to pay if the company loses its export monopoly
as a result of the Cole inquiry.

Page 3: The Liberal Party has called in the big guns for a private soul-searching session
next week on how to help end its prolonged spell in opposition in the states and territories.

World: With the economy beginning to slow, the current expansion has a chance to become
the first sustained period of economic growth in the US since World War II that fails
to offer a prolonged increase in real wages for most workers. (New York)

Markets: Several large buy orders lifted the sharemarket early yesterday, setting the
tone for a positive session.
