Abbott Government announces a Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption

On Monday 10 February 2014 a Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption was announced.

The terms of reference for the Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption are expressed very broadly. The Prime Minister Tony Abbott has said the inquiry will be able to go wherever the evidence leads it.

Companies and employers who have had dealings with unions are potentially within the scope of the inquiry, and should familiarise themselves with the terms of the inquiry and how they might become involved.

This update provides an overview of the inquiry, including the powers of the Commissioner.
