COMMISSIONER HAMPTON	ADELAIDE, 29 JUNE 2015

Application for approval of The MMP Star Editorial Enterprise Bargaining Agreement 2014.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as The MMP Star Editorial Enterprise Bargaining Agreement 2014 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by MMP Star Pty Ltd T/A MMP Star. The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Act as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[3] As the Agreement does not contain a consultation term which meets the requirements of s.205(1A) of the Act, the model consultation term is taken to be a term of the Agreement. In doing so, I note parties have given an undertaking in relation to the operation of the consultation term of the Agreement and expect the instrument to be applied in a manner consistent with that undertaking.

[4] The Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance, being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) of the Act I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 6 July 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2017.
