On 12 May 2023, AREEA lodged a comprehensive submission in response to the Same Job, Same Pay Consultation Paper released by the the Federal Government’s Department of Employment and Workplace Relations on 13 April.
AREEA’s firm position is that if the ‘Same Job, Same Pay’ policy proposal is implemented in the nature described in the Consultation Paper, the impact on the resources and energy industry will see operations close, jobs lost, regional communities adversely impacted, and state and federal tax and royalty revenues forgone.
Read AREEA’s positions and responses to this concerning policy development within.
