IR laws went through last week however it is still unclear how the system will work for the private sector.
States could refer their powers to the Commonwealth, as Victoria did 10 years ago or they could pass identical laws. Although NSW has yet to decide which on which option, NSW Industrial Relations Minister John Della Bosca favours a national system.
