In 2010 a 59-year-old security guard from the Sutherland shire was shot and killed during a routine cash pick-up in Sydney's CBD. That led to an unprotected strike the following day by those workers and also workers in non-risk areas across the state of New South Wales in various parts where there had not been hold-ups on previous occasions. In actual fact, to my recollection, there had not been hold-ups for a period of over 40 or 50 years. Those workers took industrial action in solidarity with their fellow workers after someone had been shot dead. Their concern was about the company not seriously dealing with this—actually, a better way to describe this is clients demanding low-cost security arrangements. Workers took industrial action in other parts of the state. They were not in imminent risk. The union and those workers were found to have taken illegal industrial action, and points were then awarded. Under those circumstances, would that lead to deregistration?
