This bill seeks
to amend the Fair Work Act 2009 to implement elements of the Coalition's

outstanding recommendations from the Towards more productive and equitable
workplaces: An evaluation of the Fair Work legislation (June 2012) review

The bill
proposes a range of measures, including changes to the right of entry
framework, new processes relating to the negotiation of single-enterprise
greenfields agreements, changes to rules around individual flexibility
arrangements, and a number of other measures implementing recommendations of
the Fair Work Review Panel.

On 6 March 2014,
the Senate referred the provisions of the bill to the Senate Education and
Employment Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 5 June 2014.
1.122
The
committee considers that the bill may give rise to human rights concerns. It
has therefore decided to further defer its consideration of this bill to allow
for the closer examination of the issues and the opportunity to take into
account submissions made to the Senate Education and Employment Legislation
Committee inquiry.
