4th Feb 2016, 10:30 AM – Representatives Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Bill 2013 [No. 2] and another - Third Reading - Speed up the passage of the bills
Summary
EditThe majority voted to speed up the passage of the bills so that they could immediately vote on whether to pass it. In parliamentary jargon, they voted to suspend the standing and sessional orders that would have stopped the bills from being passed immediately (ordinarily, they couldn't be passed until the next sitting day).
What were the bills about?
The bills re-institute a workplace relations framework that was first put in place back in 2005. Among other things, they re-establish the Australian Building and Construction Commissioner and re-introduce provisions dealing with unlawful industrial action and coercion that are specific to the building industry.
