Abstract

Jurisdiction conferred on the Australian Industrial Relations Commission by the Industrial Relations Act 1988 is more marked by continuity than by experimentation. This paper identifies some areas where greater structural changes might have been expected—the use of different constitutional powers, the regulation of contractors, and the removal of restrictions on the definition of 'industrial dispute'. It summarizes those beneficial reforms which the Act effects.
