DECISION

Fair Work Act 2009

s.516—Right of entry

Application by Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union

(RE2022/1427)

DEPUTY PRESIDENT GOSTENCNIK MELBOURNE, 3 FEBRUARY 2023

Application for extension of right of entry permit of Cameron David Hardy

1. On 16 December 2022, the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMMEU) applied under s.512 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act) for an entry permit to be issued to Cameron David Hardy, an Organiser employed by the CFMMEU. On the same day, the CFMMEU also applied under s.516 of the Act for Mr Hardy’s current entry permit to be extended, pending the determination of the s.512 application.

1. Mr Hardy’s current entry permit expires on 6 February 2023. Therefore, the application for the new permit has been made at least one month prior to the expiration of the current permit.

1. I am satisfied that the requirements set out in ss.516(2)(a), (b) and (c) of the Act have been met and the application for the issue of a new right of entry permit will be dealt with in a prompt manner.

1. Accordingly, I grant an extension to the expiry date of the right of entry permit of Mr Hardy’s (RE2019/1250) until 3 April 2023.

1. An order giving effect to this decision is separately issued in PR750198.
