Queensland Removes Union Voices from Safety Boards | Australia News

Queensland’s Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie has reshaped two key workplace safety boards by appointing LNP allies and removing all union representatives — a move unions say silences worker voices and undermines fair representation in critical safety and compensation decisions. While Bleijie argues workers are still represented and accuses unions of bias, critics warn the absence of union leaders erodes the boards’ integrity and historical balance, especially after previous LNP governments included union voices. The removal of union heads from sectors like nursing and teaching marks a significant shift in how Queensland safeguards worker interests.
