Comparisons to current Industrial Relations Policies/Labour Law

I have added the following paragraph back into the text as it is a relevant comparison of (historical) Master and Servant legislation with current industrial relations legislation just introduced into Australia. The original paragraph was not POV by an editor, but was supported by relevant citation of the comparison being made publicly by notable people. Inclusion of this information is relevant to this article. See also the debate at Talk:WorkChoices for reasons. --Takver 08:24, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The changes to the WorkChoices industrial relations legislation in Australia in 2005 by the Howard Government have been cited by some as a return to the Master and Servant relationship in the past as embodied in the various Colonial Master and Servant Acts, which derived from the British Act.^[1] The changes have drawn strong union opposition with a national day of protest on 15 November 2005, with further protests occurring in 2006.

"The changes have drawn strong union opposition with a national day of protest on 15 November 2005, with further protests occurring in 2006" is about the Howard government's industrial policies, and not the Master-Servants Act, and it's not going on here no matter how many times people revert my edits. --Apeloverage 08:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please try to be careful when discussing controversial changes to a page. Remember that you may not revert a change more than three times in a row, but discussing changes is more productive.

Until which year could absence from work without permission be punished? What happened if they became sick? 193.183.217.27 (talk) 09:30, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New Zealand

\ I propose that New Zealand be removed in the list of countries with a master and servant act. There is no citation for this assertion, while academics say NZ didn't have one (that was enforced, at any rate): "New Zealand stood largely alone in not enacting master and servant laws [...]" Marzengarb's Employment Law, Gordon Anderson, 2020, citing John Henning "New Zealand: an anitpodean exception to the master and servant rules" (2007) New Zealand Journal of History, vol 41, p 62. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.74.202.131 (talk) 22:18, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
