Download or read book Work Choices written by Andrew Stewart and published by Federation Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Stewart and George Williams, leading scholars and media commentators, explain what has been called the most important decision of the Australian High Court since the Tasmanian Dam Case in 1983. They show what was being argued and why it was being argued, as well as what was decided and the implications for Australia’s future. They include key passages of the majority judgment, and from the dissents of Justices Kirby and Callinan. Is this “a destabilising intrusion of direct federal lawmaking into areas of legislation which, since federation, have been the subjects of State laws†(Justice Kirby)? Might it reduce State Parliaments to “impotent debating societies†(Justice Callinan)?
Download or read book Work Choices and the Radical Revision of the Public Realm of Australian Statutory Labour Law written by Jill Murray and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia's statutory labour law has undergone very significant amendment following the enactment of the Workplace Relations Amendment (Work Choices) Act 2005 (the Work Choices Act). This article argues that the new law radically revises the public realm of labour law established through the century-old system of conciliation and arbitration. The Act seeks to strip back the influence of trade unions and the traditional regulator, the Australian Industrial Relations Commission. It generates a realm of private employer power, augmented where necessary with direct intervention by Executive government to ensure that the old system does not re-emerge. The Work Choices Act is remarkable in its use of statutory language to obscure and defer meaning. The processes of its making were also marked by a reluctance of the government to explain or even acknowledge the import of the law. It is tentatively concluded that the Act is a product of the mix of ideological, pragmatic and psychological motivations underlying its creation.

Download or read book Australia written by Marian Sawer and published by Federation Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On many criteria, Australia has been a pioneering democracy. As one of the oldest continuing democracies, however, a health check has long been overdue. Since 2002 the Democratic Audit of Australia, a major democracy assessment project, has been applying an internationally tested set of indicators to Australian political institutions and practices.The indicators derive from four basic principles--political equality, popular control of government, civil liberties and human rights and the quality of public deliberation. Comparative data are taken from Australia's nine jurisdictions, as well as from three comparator democracies, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, to identify strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for reform.Some of the findings are disturbing. For example, Australia has fallen well behind in the regulation of private money in elections and in controlling the use of government or parliamentary resources for partisan benefit. Transparency and accountability have suffered from relatively weak FOI regimes and from executive dominance of parliaments.For those studying democracy or wanting to reform Australian politics, The State of Democracy provides a wealth of evidence in a well-illustrated and highly accessible format. Internationally, it is an important contribution to the democracy assessment literature and pushes into new areas such as the intergovernmental decision-making of federalism.
Download or read book Rethinking Job Security written by Joanna Howe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines the proper role of the law in protecting job security in the contemporary workplace. It provides a historical, theoretical, practical and comparative perspective on this under-researched, but fundamentally important, legal mechanism at a time when the pressure to deregulate and dilute worker-protective laws has taken on increased importance. The volume critically analyses both statute and case law from three advanced industrialised liberal democracies with a common law foundation, the UK, Australia and the USA, to understand the extent to which job security is realised. By applying a common approach and a conceptual framework that emphasises the complex relationships between law, the economy and society to analyse a series of national studies, the book is also designed to draw upon the insights of comparative analysis to deepen our understanding of the limits and possibilities of legal regulation of job security. The national case studies are supplemented by research that focuses on how supra-national organisations have sought both to develop and disseminate new legal norms around the practices and processes of dismissal. This study critically analyses and assesses the adequacy of the international regulatory framework for protecting the rights of employees in the dismissal process.
