The New Province for Law and Order: 100 Years of Australian Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration / Edition 1

by Joe Isaac, Stuart Macintyre

Overview

2004 is the centenary of the Australian federal industrial system, and, in recognition of this landmark anniversary, Stuart Macintyre and Joseph Isaac have edited a volume recounting its first 100 years. The Commonwealth of Australia was federated in 1901. Only three short years later, the Federal Government established a court system to arbitrate over industrial disputes in a country that already had a history of half a century of organized labor.
