I move government amendment (17) on sheet PA412:

(17)  Schedule 1, item 15, page 40 (after line 3), after subclause 3(1), insert:

     (1A)    However, paragraph 405(1)(e) of the pre-transition Act continues to apply in relation to a person whose appointment has ceased to have effect under subclause (1), as if the person continues to be a bargaining agent.

This amendment would ensure that a bargaining agent appointed in relation to an AWA would continue to have standing to apply for civil remedies in relation to AWAs under the act on behalf of an employee.

Question agreed to.
