LOCAL GOVERNMENT — WESTERN AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS COMMISSION

1343. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the Minister for Industrial Relations:

I refer to the proposal to transition local government from operating under the jurisdiction of the Fair Work Commission to the Western Australian Industrial Relations Commission.

(1)  Has the decision been made to transition local government from the FWC to the WAIRC?

(2)  If yes to (1), when is it anticipated that we will see legislation to effect this change?

Work Health and Safety Bill welcome but industrial manslaughter reforms not strong enough

Greens spokesperson for Industrial Relations and Worker Safety Hon Alison Xamon MLC has today warmly welcomed the introduction into parliament of the McGowan Government’s Work Health and Safety Bill.

“This legislation introduces much needed reform to WA’s outdated work health and safety laws – and is the result of long-term campaigning by unions, individuals and other stakeholders,” said Ms Xamon.
