  • No ABN/No Start: Changes in Work Organisation and Their Impact on Labour Standards in the NSW Construction Industry 1980 – 2011
    No ABN/No Start: Changes in work organisation and their impact on labour standards in the NSW construction industry 1980 – 2011 John Sutton B. Econ. (Hons) A thesis submitted to the University of New South Wales for the degree of Master of Philosophy April 2018 Abstract This research explores changing forms of work organisation in the NSW construction industry 1980- 2011 and examines how labour standards for construction workers were affected by them. Three main non-Standard Employment Relations (SER) arrangements are considered: self-employed sub- contracting, labour hire/agency work and guestworkers. These precarious employment practices are examined using quantitative and qualitative research methods. Statistical data are used to track their increased use; then evidence and findings from thirteen public inquiries held between 1979 and 2011 are interrogated using a ‘critical theory’ methodology. Conclusions are drawn about how and why precarious arrangements became entrenched in the NSW construction industry. The evidence demonstrates that major employer interests worked pro-actively with their political allies to protect and extend the reach of these ‘flexible’ forms of work organisation. The spread of self-employed sub-contracting from the housing sector to the whole construction industry is a particular focus. The growth of ‘sham contracting’ was something employer interests consistently denied but strategically fostered. The widespread use of tax avoidance is identified as the central element allowing employers and their political supporters to deregulate the labour market in a strongly-unionised industry. Advocates of neo-liberal policy prescriptions such as the Productivity Commission, and Royal Commissioners selected by LNP Coalition governments, played a significant role in spreading these work arrangements.

  • Australian Building and Construction Commission Response
    10 July 2020 Mr Mark Fitt Committee Secretary Senate Economics References Committee Department of the Senate PO Box 6100 Parliament House CANBERRA ACT 2600 By email: [email protected] Dear Mr Fitt Unlawful Underpayments of Employees’ Remuneration – ABCC response to CFMMEU submission This letter is the ABCC’s response to adverse comments made in the submission to the Committee by the Construction & General Division of the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (“the CFMMEU submission”). Our comments in this letter should be read alongside the ABCC’s substantive submission to the Committee of 5 March 2020. Since our submission was filed with the Committee, the ABCC has published a Labour Hire Campaign Report - June 2020. This report is included as Attachment A to this response. ABCC’s general approach to wages The first recommendation contained in the CFMMEU submission is that: Issue 2: Recommendation 1 - The ABCC is failing to address wage theft and its failure is emboldening wage thieves. It is an ideological regulator and should be abolished Paragraphs 13 to 24 of the CFMMEU submission relate to this recommendation. In response, the ABCC reinforces to the Committee that it is the full service regulator for the building and construction industry and takes this role seriously. The ABCC conducts its activities as an independent statutory agency. The ABCC is committed to acting impartially and apolitically. On 6 December 2018, the formal report on the independent review of the Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Act 2016 (BCIIP Act) was tabled in Federal Parliament. The review concluded that the ABCC is meeting its role as an impartial regulator, ensuring employers’ compliance with wages and entitlements obligations as well as regulating industry participants’ compliance with freedom of association, right of entry and other workplace laws.

First and foremost, the Australian Press Council celebrated its 40th anniversary with a major international conference on press freedom in Sydney in May 2016. The conference was a huge success, bringing together all parts of the news media in Australia to discuss the critical issues facing us. The Conference was very well-supported by Council members and other sponsors, enabling us to fly in a number of international journalism stars to add a richness and gravitas to the occasion. (See Chapter 5 and Appendix 6.) When the Council was first established in 1976, it was a fragile body. Few paediatricians would have given it 40 years or more to live. There have certainly been ups and down over the decades, but the Council is now firmly fixed in the media landscape and playing a very active and positive role in the interests of both publishers and the general community. The Press Council’s first Strategic Plan All Press Council members and Secretariat staff engaged in a highly collegial process to develop, workshop and finally approve the organisation’s first ever Strategic Plan, covering 2016-2020.

  • An Albanese Labor Opposition – What Will the ALP Do Now? Scott Gartrell
    An Albanese Labor Opposition – what will the ALP do now? Scott Gartrell After losing the ‘unlosable’ election, what are the lessons for Federal Labor? Two key insights are apparent: it would be a mistake for the Australian Labor Party (Labor) to interpret the May 18 election result as a major rejection of its policies and the Coalition victory should not be seen as a litmus test for future election campaigns and small target strategy. Now that the dust has settled, the 46th Commonwealth Parliament is not significantly different from the 45th: a majority Coalition governs the House of Representatives. But after appointing the Speaker, in the now 151 seat House, the Coalition will only have a slim one-seat majority. That said, arguably four of the six crossbenchers are conservative leaning and likely to support the Government, particularly on supply and confidence. So, after a furious contest, the numbers have shifted slightly to a 1.17 percent swing to the Coalition, on a two-party preferred basis. Not a comprehensive endorsement of the Coalition nor a complete rejection of the Labor Party. Labor will, however, carry out a review of its policies and campaign, like any prudent Party should. The Party will for the moment make no commitments concerning any specific policy made during the May election campaigning period. This review should focus on both the policies brought to the election and the strategies used to communicate the Party to the electorate. It is widely acknowledged that the policy platform Labor stood on was comprehensive and detailed, compared to the 1993 ‘Fightback’ policy agenda that then Liberal leader, John Hewson, put before the Australian people.
