Shipping Legislation Amendment Bill
This is quite possibly significant in the context of air operators.
This Bill would have allowed overseas flagged and crewed ships, paying workers Third World wages, to undercut Australian operators on domestic trade routes. Fortunately the bill was scuppered today in the Senate by labour and independents 38 to 21.
Senate sinks shipping bill that would entice $2 an hour crews
AFAP and AIPA, please note and consider.

That would be very hard to do in aviation as the foreign airline would then have to submit itself to a CASA audit and AOC process.
However if that got exempted by the government and they allowed any foreign AOC operator in the name of lowering costs it would be the beginning of the end.
