Welcome to the HR Nicholls Society
Australia is a country in which political life is carried out through debate and argument. The Society's ambition is to bring about, through the processes of debate and argument, urgently needed reform in Australia's industrial relations attitudes, law and institutions, and thus to transform
our labour market into a job-creating and wealth-generating engine of growth and prosperity.
Our aims are:
- To promote discussion about
the operation of industrial relations in Australia, including
the system of determining wages and other conditions of employment.
- To support the reform of
Australian industrial relations with the aim of promoting the
rule of law in respect of employers and employee organisations
alike, the right of individuals to freely contract for the supply
and engagement of their labour by mutual agreement, and the necessity
for labour relations to be conducted in such a way as to promote
economic development in Australia.
