14th May 2014, 11:15 AM – Senate Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Amendment Bill 2013 - Second Reading - Agree to the bill's main idea
Summary
EditThe majority did not agree with the main idea of the bill and so have rejected it. This means that it won't be considered any further. In parliamentary jargon, they voted against reading the bill for a second time.
What is the bill's main idea?
The bill is in part a response to media surrounding misconduct by Health Service Union officers.
It was introduced to establish the Registered Organisations Commission to investigate and monitor unions and employer organisations. It also imposes a similar standard disclosure and transparency on union officials as company directors and introduces tougher criminal sanctions.
