CONCILIATION AND ARBITRATION (ELECTRICITY INDUSTRY) ACT 1985 No. 50 of 1985 - SECT 8
Limitation on power of Commission to dismiss or refrain from hearing or determining industrial dispute to which Act applies
8. (1) The Commission does not, in relation to an industrial dispute to which
this Act applies, have power, in so far as the industrial dispute exists
between an organization of employees and one or more electricity authorities
of Queensland, to dismiss a matter or part of a matter, or refrain from
further hearing or from determining the industrial dispute, by reason that it
appears to the Commission -
(a) that the industrial dispute has been dealt with, is being dealt with
or is proper to be dealt with by a State Industrial Authority of
Queensland; or
(b) that further proceedings are not necessary or desirable in the public
interest.
(2) Nothing in sub-section (1) prevents the Commission from limiting the
application of an award that relates to employees of an electricity authority
of Queensland to such employees, or such class or classes or group or groups
of employees, as the Commission thinks appropriate having regard to the work
that is, or could be, performed for that authority by members of the
organization of employees involved in the industrial dispute and by members of
other organizations of employees or of unions or other associations of
employees registered under a law of Queensland.
