The artistry of silence. Will it last? For how long? Why – How – When?
In the Northern Territory, we have Australian Federal Police Officers who are based and work in the Northern Territory who are covered by the Fair Work Act (Cth) and their enterprise agreements are approved by and dealt with and lodged in the Fair Work Commission.
In the Northern Territory, we have Northern Territory Police Officers who are based and work in the Northern Territory who are not covered by the Fair Work Act (Cth) and their Northern Territory Police Force Consent Agreement is not lodged in the Fair Work Commission but is lodged in the Northern Territory Police Arbitral Tribunal.
Is it not time to ensure that all Northern Territory Police Officers are covered by the Fair Work Act (Cth) and that their enterprise agreements are also approved by and dealt with and lodged in the Fair Work Commission?
