    The nature of the study to be pursued in this article concerns the extent to which the common law systems of England and Australia contain principles or rules designed to impinge on an employer's freedom of contract or legitimate trading interests in order to promote the ability of an employee to trade, work freely, and enjoy the benefits of his/her labour and innovations. This will entail spelling out the principal elements of both the English and Australian concepts and outlining the differences between them in light of new problems that have emerged as a result of recent developments in economic and social conditions

    Employment Law provides an overview of the Australian labour and employment law system, primarily drawing on the Fair Work Act 2009. It includes all major topics from union law through to dismissal; and provides a short introduction to the allied areas of discrimination, public service employment law, superannuation and OHS. Research Background: The author was approached by leading publisher, Thomson Reuters, to write this first edition book. While there were numerous lengthy texts in the field, there was no shorter text which provided a concise yet analytical appraisal. The book fills that gap. Research Contribution: The book sets out the fundamentals of Australian employment and labour law and the main issues arising in the field. The area covered is important and dynamic. The book covers the main elements of the new Fair Work Act 2009 along with critical new court decisions, policies and areas of law reform. Research Significance: The book has been favourably reviewed in these terms: "...Employment Law is a timely publication...The book is written by an author who is widely published in the area and who has commanded notable positions in both legal practice and academia. It conceptualises complex aspects of the law in plain language and is a useful quick reference tool for practitioners and students alike." (2011) 31 The Queensland Lawyer 43. The book has also been used by overseas academics as a useful means of digesting the most important aspects of the Australian system

    Cyberbullying & Employment Law: A missed opportunity for School Principals and Teachers and those Lawyers who Advise Them? (2019) The Queensland Lawyer

    The landmark 2018 Queensland Government Report into Cyberbulling provided recommendations on the modern day evil of cyberbullying between students at school. While no one can doubt the worth of that Report, it is fair to say that a substantial omission from the terms of reference was upstream bullying (the bullying of School Principals and Teachers by students and parents). After all, if a student sees their parents successfully bullying a Teacher or School Principal, won’t that child learn that bullying works? And will that “lesson” not undermine the good the Report is attempting to achieve? This article addresses the law pertaining to upstream bullying. It argues that the existing law is inadequate to protect school staff and there is a need for law reform. Given the recent findings of the 2019 survey into the wellbeing of School Principals this article should be useful for lawyers advising schools and also law reformers

    [Extract] What is the change and why is it important? • Essentially, Australian IR has moved in stages: • A prescriptive system of collective bargaining and adherence to Industrial Commission principles (1900-1980s); • through to a hybrid system, in which there were prescriptive safety nets but also collective bargaining at an enterprise level sanctioned by the Industrial Commission (No Disadvantage Test) (1980s-1996); • a system like the above, only in which statutory individual agreements (Australian Workplace Agreements) also evolved (1996-2005); • through to Work Choices - in which collective bargaining was wound back in favour of AWAs, the role of the Commission (eg NOT) diminished and unfair dismissal became largely unavailable; national system; reliance on statutory minima (2005-2008); and now • The Fair Work Legislation in which the move towards individual bargaining is replaced by collective bargaining at workplaces but underpinned less by a centralised Commission and more by statutory standards (incrementally from 2008-

    ARE APPEALS TO HUMAN RIGHTS AN EFFECTIVE FRAMING FOR FEMINIST ‘PRO-CHOICE’ DEMANDS IN CHILE? A FEMINIST CRITIQUE

    Get PDF
    PhDMy central question asks to what extent the politics of the interpretation of the human rights discourse acts as an obstacle to the legalisation of abortion. To answer this question, I set out the theoretical basis for the feminist critiques of the human rights discourse and its effect on women’s rights. I contend that those in control of informal and formal institutions have control of the interpretation of human rights. I situate this within the historical context, analysing the formal and informal institutional obstacles to feminist policymaking and activism. I analyse the gender ideology that underlies the “pro-life” discourse, and explore the mechanisms by which the “prolife” sector ensures its cultural hegemony, arguing that what occurs in civil society (informal) shapes the formal and informal institutional responses to sexual and reproductive rights. I then assess how this discourse and gender ideology is reflected in the content of political projects related to abortion, thereby highlighting how informal institutions inform formal responses. I conclude by examining the tactics of a section of the radical branch of the feminist movement in Chile today and the innovative measures they utilise in order to challenge, deconstruct, and destabilise the conservative control of the informal institutions of gender norms that shape responses to issues of sexual and reproductive health in Chile. This research is intended to add to analyses seeking to assess the interplay between informal and formal institutions, and the potential this has in isolating entry points for advocacy and activism. I argue that the way to legalisation must proceed via shifting the discourse.School of Politics and International Relation
