There will be no wholesale changes to workchoices. Unfortunately the ALP has already stated that they will only make it more "fair". They are still saying they will scrap AWA's but I don't really believe they will.
They have flagged that common law contract of employment will overrule Awards for employees who earn more than (I think) $90,000 per annum.
The Union rights of entry will not be changed.
The registration methods for collective agreements will not be changed.
Hopefully, (for my sake considering I have to look at it at least 3 times a day) the Act will be simplified but even then there is no guarantee.
I think the threat from GD was disgusting but I think it was aimed solely at ensuring that AWA's are not abolished. From my observations of the election thus far, I think he may just get his wish.
Interestingly, with the Department of Immigration now making it virtually impossible to bring in workers on 457 visas any foreign workers will have to be based overseas. I doubt very much that he will be able to import them.
