"The Queensland Parliament passed new industrial relations laws that will allow the state to join a national industrial relations system that better serves the interests of both employers and employees. Industrial Relations Minister Cameron Dick said the legislation gave private sector employees and employers access to a fair, balanced and equitable system of industrial relations, overseen by an independent umpire. “Employers can now operate under a seamless system where they know that their obligations in Queensland are no different from those in most other states,” Mr Dick said."
