Introduced into the House of
Representatives on 18 June 2012
By: Mr Bandt
1.2
The committee notes that the statement of compatibility claims that this
bill does not engage human rights as defined in the Human Rights
(Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011. The committee seeks clarification from
Mr Bandt whether the bill could be said to engage the right to work contained
in Article 2 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural
Rights.
1.3
This bill amends the Fair Work Act 2009 and the Migration Act
1958 to create a legislative framework for Enterprise Migration Agreements
(EMA).
1.4
The bill also sets out various conditions that can be included when an
EMA is made including:
-
requiring employers to advertise jobs to locals before they can
get an EMA; and
-
requiring a local jobs board - listing jobs to be filled in the
resources sector - to be maintained by the Workplace Relations Minister.
