David Pocock - 9 November 2023 - on splitting the IR bill
Crossbench Senators Jacqui Lambie and David Pocock tabled four private senators’ bills in a bid to fast track additional protections for workers.
The four private senators’ bills bring forward four sections of the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes) Bill 2023 as follows:
Fair Work Legislation Amendment (First Responders) Bill 2023 - This Bill requires the insurers of first responders in the Commonwealth and ACT jurisdictions to presume that PTSD was caused by a first responder’s job, unless the insurer can establish otherwise.
Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency) Bill 2023 - This Bill gives workers the right to safe and healthy workplaces by expanding the current remit of the Asbestos Safety Eradication Agency (ASEA) to include prevention of silica-related diseases.
Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Strengthening Protections Against Discrimination) Bill 2023 - This Bill would prevent employers from discriminating against people that are being subjected to family and domestic violence by making it a protected attribute under the Fair Work Act 2009.
Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Small Business Redundancy Exemption) Bill 2023 - When a larger business incrementally downsizes due to insolvency, either in the period leading to liquidation or bankruptcy, or afterwards, it is not uncommon for them to fall below the 15-employee threshold and technically become a small business. This means that the last employees of a large business that has become insolvent will not receive a redundancy payment. This bill provides an exception to the operation of the small business redundancy exemption in the context of large businesses that are bankrupt or in liquidation to stop employees missing out on their redundancy payments.
These bills have broad support and the Senators are urging the Government, Coalition and their crossbench colleagues to pass the four measures so workers aren’t having to wait until next year for straightforward additional protections.
