I guess that over the past 3 weeks the role of FWA has been as a facilitator, not an arbitrator, so I don't get the comments earlier (not yours specifically Keg) that the process of facilitation has been compromised by a FWA member because of past affiliation.

I guess the positive of this process is that when the arbitration kicks off and decisions have to be made it is by a Full Bench ala the JetConnect decision.

SDP Drake's dissenting position on that case may not have surprised some in the IR world given what some think is her pro-employee view of matters, in particular on unfair dismissal. Conversely the Peter Hampton position may not have surprised some given his Chamber of Commerce background.
