Will the recent NSW legislation about bringing employees of various state government bodies back into the public service affect universities in NSW?
University employees in NSW are not covered by the legislation, so there is no effect. Given the decisions of both the AIRC and the Federal Court that universities are constitutional corporations (i.e are within the corporations power of the Commonwealth), there does not appear to be any way that university staff can be taken out of the national IR system.
