IN THE TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Industrial Relations Act 1984
On 28 May 1990, the Commission made a new award called the 'Building and Construction Industry Award' to be operative from 28 May 1990. Arising out of that decision (T1175, 1180, 1182, 1183, 1186, 1190, 1197, 1213 & 1235 of 1988), The Operative Plasterers and Plaster Workers' Federation of Australia, Tasmanian Branch made application to the Registrar to have its current Certificate of Registration recalled and re-issued in an amended form on the grounds that an award in which it has an interest is not specified in the certificate. This matter was referred to me by the President for the purpose of determining whether or not The Operative Plasterers and Plaster Workers' Federation of Australia, Tasmanian Branch had an interest in the 'Building and Construction Industry Award'. The Industrial Relations Act 1984 requires me, when dealing with such applications, to take into account such matters as specified in Section 63(10)(c) which states, inter alia: "(c) that Commissioner shall determine which awards the organization has an interest in by satisfying himself that -
After hearing submissions in relation to the application, I have satisfied myself that the OP&PWF should be granted an interest in the `Building and Construction Industry Award and I decide accordingly. I have formulated my decision on the facts that:
I will now forward a copy of this decision to the Registrar thus enabling him to make the necessary amendments to the Certificate of Registration. The award shall also be varied to reflect the decision with an operative date of 19 June 1990. The Order giving effect to this decision is attached.
