Background

The Transport Workers Union of Australia issued a "Safe Rates" campaign in response to reports of a link between rates of pay and road safety.
In the lead-up to the 2013 Australian federal election, Tony Abbott promised to issue a review of the industrial tribunal.[3]
In 2016, a dispute between owner-truck drivers in the road transport industry accelerated calls for the tribunal to be abolished,[4] and the tribunal was abolished on 21 April 2016.[5][6]
