This is the second issue of the Journal's fortieth anniversary year. In the course of the year we are publishing a series of feature articles which revisit themes of long-standing importance to the field of labour law, in the light of contemporary developments. In this issue's feature article, Breen Creighton addresses the question of workplace representation from an Australian perspective. He provides an historical overview of the distinctive Australian model of wage determination through conciliation and arbitration, explaining its core features and tracing its evolution in a way that highlights its significance as one particular variant of the national labour law systems that emerged in the first half of the twentieth century. He then examines in detail the recent changes to the law made by the Fair Work Act 2009. This legislation, passed by a Labor government, marked a shift in approach from the deregulatory laws of the Howard era, and, to some degree, a recollectivisation of Australian labour law. At several points, it offers solutions to issues of workplace representation which are radically different from those currently operating in British labour law via the provisions of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992.
