EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Statutory Rules 1990 No. 462
Industrial Relations Regulations
(Amendment)
(Issued by the Authority of the Minister for Industrial Relations)
Section 359 of the Industrial Relations Act 1988 (the Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations for the purposes of the Act.
Section 4 of the Act defines “public sector employment”, but excludes (other than in section 121) employment or service by some prescribed classes of persons (paragraphs (e) and (f) of the definition).
Schedule 3 of the Regulations - Commonwealth Authorities (Definition of “Public Sector Employment”) - prescribes certain classes of people for the purposes of paragraph (f) of the definition of “public sector employment”.
The proposed amendment to the Regulations - the omission of Schedule 3 and the substitution of a new Schedule 3 - reflects the changes in names of those authorities, already prescribed in Schedule 3, that have been affected by legislation converting those authorities into public companies.
Those authorities are:
AIDC Ltd
Australian Defence Industries Ltd
Civil Aviation Authority
Commonwealth Serum Laboratories Limited
Federal Airports Corporation.
