COMMISSIONER ASBURY BRISBANE, 27 OCTOBER 2011

Proposed protected action ballot by employees of Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park.

[1] This decision concerns an application made pursuant to s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by the Australian Workers’ Union of Employees, Queensland (AWU). The AWU seeks a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park (Employer).

[2] The Employer has advised that it does not oppose the application.

[3] In the circumstances I have decided to determine the matter on the papers as I am satisfied it is not necessary to hold a hearing.

[4] On the basis of the submissions of the AWU and a sworn statement made by Sharon Marie Winn, Organiser for the AWU, I am satisfied that the requirements in ss443(1)(a) and (b) have been met and that, accordingly, an order must be made. An order [PR516153] based on the draft provided by the AWU will issue at the same time as this decision.
