THE COMMISSIONER: Ms Doody.

PN5

MS DOODY: If the Commission pleases. This is an application made under division 2 of part VIB of the Workplace Relations Act 1996 for the certification of an agreement made under section 170LJ of that Act. All of the requirements of the Act, regulation and rules of the Commission have been met in the making of this agreement, except in relation to section 170LM. The agreement meets the requirements of section 170LT of the Act in that it passes the no disadvantage test. It was genuinely approved by a valid majority of relevant employees. The terms of the agreement were appropriately explained to those employees.

PN6

It contains a dispute settlement procedure at clause 22 of the agreement and contains a nominal expiry date of 30 April 2006 at clause 5 of the agreement. In relation to the no disadvantage test the agreement is underpinned by the Transport Workers Passenger Vehicles Award 2002. We submit therefore that the agreement meets all of the requirements of the Act and seek certification from today's date in the terms sought. Thank you, Commissioner.

PN7

THE COMMISSIONER: Yes, thank you. Mr Steinford.

MR STEINFORD: Commissioner, we would support the application.
