Fair Work Commission should be able to deal with employee-like gig workers: Burke

Shadow Industrial Relations Minister Tony Burke says Labor’s proposed IR reform package would allow the Fair Work Commission to assist “employee-like” gig economy workers in a “grey area” regarding the technical definition of employment. “You allow the industrial commission, the Fair Work Commission for the first time to be able to deal with people who are considered employee-like,” he told Sky News. “That allows the commission to set minimum standards for people, it lets them look at the algorithm to look at home a company’s operation and make sure there’s minimum standards for people”. “Essentially at the moment what you have is a cliff, where the big question is 'can you define them as employees'? “If you can’t define them under the technical definition of employees, they go from lots of rights to absolutely none. “This allows the commission to deal with the circumstance where these days, with the gig economy there’s a whole lot of peop

Australian Attorney-General Pans Critics of Family Court Merger

Australian Attorney-General Pans Critics of Family Court Merger Attorney-General Christian Porter has panned critics of the impending Family Court merger, saying those opposing the move have a “vested interest” in maintaining the status quo.

Mr Burke singled out hotel quarantine workers and aged care workers. “Where you’ve got direct commonwealth money going to provide assistance for people being employed, and yet the outcome that we’ve seen has been not just a problem for those workers but a problem for public health,” he said.

Burke slams Porter s claim Labor s IR plan will cause extinction event for business

Shadow Industrial Relations Minister Tony Burke has reinforced job security as a Labor priority while launching a counterattack at Attorney-General Christian Porter for labelling the new IR reform package as an “extinction level” event. Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese unveiled an eight-point plan for an Industrial Relations overhaul on Wednesday night with entitlements and benefits for casual workers in the gig economy a centrepiece feature of the new scheme. Mr Burke backed the strategy, claiming what business needs to transition out of the pandemic-induced downturn is a customer base with the confidence to spend. “If people have security it means they can afford to spend, they can have the confidence to spend, it determines whether or not they can get a loan.” Speaking on Wednesday, Mr Porter described the IR reform plan as one of the most unlimited, unqualified, quite outlandish promises that has ever been made in the history of industrial relations”. “It doesn
