Abstract

Australia, in common with many other industrialised countries in the 1990s, has experienced a shift towards individualism in labour law and labour market regulation. This has been part of a wider change as governments have opened up domestic markets to international competition, while rethinking the protections provided by the welfare state. Business has demanded deregulation of all kinds, but particularly in the labour market, with the aim of achieving greater flexibility and efficiency in the utilisation of labour.
