Enterprise Bargaining Agreements Regulation
STATEMENT
One Nation recognises the need for flexibility, both from employers and employees during this Chinese COVID-19 pandemic.
Senator Roberts and I support the Federal and State Government’s attempt to reboot Australia’s economy through a three-stage process that comes with a calculated risk of a second wave of infections.
One Nation has listened to the concerns outlined by workers Unions across Australia and we have equally paid attention to employers who are in damage control nationwide.
Therefore Senator Roberts and I will be seeking further regulatory changes by the Attorney General that will limit any variation to enterprise bargaining agreements to 12 months.
These are unprecedented times that need to be given a measured response. The careful consideration Senator Roberts and I have presented to the Government will create a happy medium for employees and employers.
Should the Attorney General not see fit to protect workers and employers alike, we will reconsider our position on the disallowance motion.
