The poor Police Commissioner acts on the dodgy advice from the dinosaurs in the HR Team at the NAB Building!
Your either in the THE CLUB or you are not, and no where is that more pertinent than Police Fire & Emergency Services.
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?
Why is the Northern Territory Police Association and all our Northern Territory politicians in the Northern Territory Parliament not calling for and legislating for the abolishment of the Northern Territory Police Arbitral Tribunal so that Northern Territory Police Officers’ employment matters can also be dealt with by the Fair Work Commission as is the case with Australian Federal Police Officers?
