Employment and Industrial Lawyer @ Maurice Blackburn. Tweeting about unions, law and politics.

The decision of the Court in Camenzuli v Morrison is based on the reasoning in Cameron, a precedent Maurice helped establish. Camenzuli sought to overturn Cameron but the High Court has refused leave to hear his appeal (8/8)

[Daniel Victory @DanielJVictory]

How is Maurice Blackburn (the man) connected to the recent high profile cases against Scott Morrison? I thought you would never ask. (1/8)

[Daniel Victory @DanielJVictory]

The case established that, except in very limited circumstances, Courts do not have jurisdiction to interfere with the internal processes of political parties (7/8)

Three years ago today NUW members obtained a good faith bargaining order against Chemist Warehouse. @UnitedWorkersOz @laurenkatekelly

[Daniel Victory @DanielJVictory]

@WeFightForFair has successfully represented @NatUnionWorkers in an application for bargaining orders against Chemist Warehouse. Fair Work Commission finds Chemist Warehouse not bargaining in good faith. Wednesday EBA vote cancelled. Employer ordered back to bargaining table.

This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It’s both gripping and touching. I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommend it.

My amazing mum has written a memoir about our time escaping Sarajevo during the Bosnian war & the battle to get my dad out of there. It’s both an anguishing & endearing read. The sold-out launch is tomorrow, and the book is available online & in shops! https://t.co/KwnmVsNMbG

Last night a clown who wound up as the elected leader of a large country spoke with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I continue negotiations with partners. Told 🇦🇺 Prime Minister @ScottMorrisonMP about the course of war. As well as risks to people and the environment due to the threat to Ukrainian nuclear and chemical facilities. Thanked for the defense and humanitarian support. #StopRussia

Two important High Court were handed down this morning that are likely to have big ramifications for labour law and the gig economy. TLDR: Courts will place greater emphasis on the terms of the contract when deciding if relationship is employment or independent contractor 1/9

[Daniel Victory @DanielJVictory]

I predict that in response to these decisions it will be increasingly common for companies to require workers to accept contracts that on their face look like a contractor relationship even if it does not reflect the reality of the relationship. Fin 9/9
