"The Panel was asked to examine and report on areas where the evidence indicates that the operation of the Fair Work legislation could be improved, consistent with the objects of the legislation. Here the Panel recommends a number of significant changes. Some of the most important of these are intended to encourage productivity growth, and others to enhance equity in the workplace. Many other recommendations are to correct anomalies that have been revealed in the operation of the FW Act or to remove defects in the machinery of the legislation."--P. 19.
