Workplace relations after WorkChoices
By Dianne Banks, Kim McGuren, James Pomeroy
On 13 February 2008, the Federal Government introduced its first round of workplace relations changes into the Parliament. The centrepiece of the proposed legislation is the removal of the ability to make new Australian Workplace Agreements (AWAs) under the Workplace Relations Act 1996 (WorkChoices). @Work examines the proposed new legislation and identifies key aspects of WorkChoices which will continue at least until the transition to the Government`s new workplace system is complete. The commencement date of the new legislation will depend on the Federal Opposition, which has the numbers to block the legislation in the Senate until 30 June 2008. Once passed by Parliament, the Government will likely want the legislation to commence at the earliest opportunity.
