The New Province for Law and Order: 100 Years of Australian Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration

by Joe Isaac (Editor), Stuart Macintyre (Editor)

Overview

2004 is the centenary of the Australian federal industrial system, and, in recognition of this landmark anniversary, Stuart Macintyre and Joseph Isaac have edited a volume recounting its first 100 years. The Commonwealth of Australia was federated in 1901. Only three short years later, the Federal Government established a court system to arbitrate over industrial disputes in a country that already had a history of half a century of organized labor.
