The End of The Fairness Test
The Workplace Relations Amendment (Transition to Forward with Fairness) Act 2008 (see Workchoices) (the Forward with Fairness Act) was passed by Parliament on 19 March 2008 and given Royal Assent on 27 March 2008, coming into operation on 28 March 2008.
The Forward with Fairness Act removed the Fairness Test for Agreements made on or after 28 March 2008 (for AWA’s that were signed on or before 27 March 2008, the 14 day lodgement period remains), and instead introduced the new No Disadvantages Test.
Whilst new agreements will no longer be subject to the Fairness Test, agreements lodged prior to the operation of the Forward with Fairness Act continue to be assessed for the Fairness Test by the Workplace Authority.

Famous quotes containing the words the end of, the end, the, fairness and/or test:
“This might be the end of the world. If Joe lost we were back in slavery and beyond help. It would all be true, the accusations that we were lower types of human beings. Only a little higher than apes. True that we were stupid and ugly and lazy and dirty and, unlucky and worst of all, that God Himself hated us and ordained us to be hewers of wood and drawers of water, forever and ever, world without end.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“There is no calm philosophy of life here, such as you might put at the end of the Almanac, to hang over the farmer’s hearth,—how men shall live in these winter, in these summer days. No philosophy, properly speaking, of love, or friendship, or religion, or politics, or education, or nature, or spirit; perhaps a nearer approach to a philosophy of kingship, and of the place of the literary man, than of anything else.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Find in middle air
An eagle on the wing,
Recognise the five
That makes the Muses sing.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“These men ask for just the same thing—fairness, and fairness only. This, so far as in my power, they, and all others, shall have.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“There is a parallel between the twos and the tens. Tens are trying to test their abilities again, sizing up and experimenting to discover how to fit in. They don’t mean everything they do and say. They are just testing. . . . Take a good deal of your daughter’s behavior with a grain of salt. Try to handle the really outrageous as matter-of-factly as you would a mistake in grammar or spelling.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
