Fed: AIRC vows to continue striving for neutrality
The head of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission has taken the unusual step
of publicly defending its neutrality.
The move follows Opposition Leader KEVIN RUDD's plan to replace the AIRC and other
agencies with a single new industrial umpire.
Justice GEOFFREY GIUDICE says the AIRC is an independent body which does not enter
political debates .. and it's inappropriate for him to comment on Mr RUDD's plan.
However .. he's defended the commission's independence saying it and its staff have
worked hard to maintain the highest standards of neutrality and professionalism .. and
will continue to do so.
