Leading advocacy group the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia (COSBOA) is locked in a staredown with Employment Minister Tony Burke, as the federal government refuses to split off elements of its highly contentious Closing the Loopholes industrial relations reform package.
COSBOA on Friday released its submission to the Senate committee tasked with assessing the proposed legislation, which would overhaul the definition of casual work, underwrite new standards in the gig economy, and criminalise wage theft at the federal level.
While opposing most of the changes, COSBOA said less contentious elements of the Bill should be carved away from the Closing the Loopholes package.
