CONTROVERSIES over coal mining labour hire have been aired before a Senate committee examining "equal work for equal pay" amendments to the Fair Work Act, introduced to federal parliament by One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts.
The Fair Work Amendment (Equal Pay for Equal Work) Bill 2022 was introduced to the Senate in February and lapsed at the end of the previous parliament before being restored in July and referred to the Education and Employment Legislation Committee to report back to parliament by October 24.
