TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Industrial Relations Act 1984 Tasmanian Public Service Association
Determination of award interest REASONS FOR DECISION Notwithstanding that the Tasmanian Public Service Association (TPSA) is cited in the "Parties and Persons Bound" clause of the Port Arthur Authority Award, it appears that a determination of interest for the TPSA was overlooked. This oversight was discovered by the Registrar, Mr James, who brought the matter to the attention of the TPSA. In the ensuing proceedings to rectify the requirement for an interest to be determined, Mr Smyth for the TPSA satisfied the Commission that the employee organisation he was representing complied with all of the requirements of Section 63 10(c)(i)(ii) and (iii) of the Industrial Relations Act 1984. The stipulations in that part of the Act are as follows:
Having regard to those provisions Mr Smyth referred the Commission to a current list of TPSA members subject to the Port Arthur Authority Award and to the Rules of the TPSA, Exhibit S2, which established that the membership in question is consistent with those Rules. With regard to the orderly conduct of industrial relations in Tasmania, I concur with Mr Smyth that it would be in the public interest for the TPSA to be granted an interest in the award. In all of the circumstances the determination of interest is made for the TPSA in the award operative from 26 July 1991. The order is attached.
