"Legislation to refer the balance of Tasmania's private sector industrial relations to the Commonwealth Government would provide a simpler and fairer industrial system for employees and employers, Workplace Relations Minister, Lisa Singh MP, said today
Debate began today in the House of Assembly on the Industrial Relations (Commonwealth Powers) Bill 2009. Tasmania is leading the way and will be the first of the states still with their own industrial relations systems to make the move. The legislation being debated this week has broad support and means that all Tasmanian private sector workers will be dealt with under the one system."
