Extractions: Palmerston City Council workers in the Northern Territory say their individual work contracts are the worse thing about working at the council and want them scrapped in favour of a return to enterprise bargaining and a collective agreement made with all staff according to a survey conducted by the council. Ian McFarlane Australias Industry Minister recently made public comment on the need to lower Australias labour costs to the same level as New Zealand. The NZ Public Service Association has expressed deep concern on the Ministers comments, and the direction that the Australian Government is taking the industrial relations system. They point out how NZ workers lost out. The letter is reproduced here for your information. Brendan O'Connor, Deputy Chair of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Employment, Workplace Relations and Workforce Participation and former ASU national official, has accused Kevin Andrews, the Minister for Workplace Relations, of displaying contempt for the Committee and for the parliamentary process after he set up a second closed enquiry into independent contractors with almost identical terms of reference to the first.

Extractions: 13 September 2005 President of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission, John von Doussa QC, said today it is vitally important that the federal Government adheres to human rights principles when developing new counter-terrorism laws. Mr von Doussa said that pioneering States (including Australia) who drafted international human rights instruments like the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) envisaged that there would be occasions when some human rights principles set out in the covenant would be justifiably infringed by States in times of public emergency. In fact, a procedure for the derogation from certain fundamental rights was provided in Article 4 of the ICCPR which applies 'in times of public emergency which threatens the life of the nation' Voices of Australia Tuesday 23 August 2005 Voices of Australia As part of the project, a selection of NRL stars including Darren Lockyer (Brisbane Broncos), Steve Price (New Zealand Warriors) and Hazem El Masri (Canterbury Bulldogs) share the stories of their experiences to encourage greater understanding and friendship between people of different backgrounds.
