    (085) Leftist & Socialist Coordinated Attack or Conspiracy? Why Australian Employers Are Under Siege

    In this episode, we unpack the growing sense of a coordinated siege against Australian employers. From government policies, to meddling in tribunal proceedings, to blocking employer's seeking support from the Commission, to union campaigns, tribunals operating with selective transparency, and regulators who appear increasingly activist. Small to medium-sized business owners are finding themselves in a storm of compounding pressure. We break down: Why many employers are losing trust in the Fair Work system The dangerous precedent set by recent Qantas and franchise wage cases How workplace regulators are treating compliance errors like criminal intent The weaponisation of legislation, that will wipe out smaller businesses And how unions are leveraging political influence to force unworkable workplace outcomes www.hrcartel.com    Want to book an advice session?  https://www.hrcartel.com/book-online

    (084) Be On Alert! Union Handed a $50M Pay Day!

    In this episode of The HR Cartel Podcast, we break down one of the most talked-about industrial relations cases in recent history; the Qantas outsourcing saga that led to a staggering $90 million penalty, including a $50 million pay out to the Transport Workers Union. We unpack what really happened behind the headlines: Why Qantas’ decision to outsource was technically legal and yet they still lost. How the reverse onus system empowered the TWU to pursue the case without concrete evidence. Why this judgment has supercharged incentives for unions and law firms to run high-stakes actions against employers. What this means for small and medium-sized businesses who may now face more aggressive claims. Practical takeaways for employers on outsourcing, redundancies, and protecting yourself against adverse action claims. This isn’t just about Qantas. It’s about a seismic shift in the IR landscape that every Australian employer needs to understand. If you employ people, especially in a unionised environment, this episode could save you from costly mistakes. Listen now and stay ahead of the game.

    (083) Right to Disconnect Under Review. Why More Guidelines Will Hurt SMEs (And What to Do Instead)

    In this episode Tim breaks down the Productivity Roundtable and two hot-button IR reviews that matter to every small and medium employer: the part-time employment review and the “right to disconnect.” Tim explains why rigid minimum-engagement rules are locking potential workers out of the labour market, why more prescriptive right-to-disconnect rules would be pointless, and what practical, low-pain changes employers and the Fair Work Commission should adopt. You’ll also get Tim’s tactical guidance on using remuneration and incentives to drive performance. The HR Cartel has put to the Commission submissions for their reviews - available at the show links below.

    (082) Employers Under Siege: Chaos in the Commission, and a Country in Decline

    In this punchy episode, Tim returns to unload on the recent chaos in Australia’s industrial relations scene. With a sharp eye on what’s happening at the Fair Work Commission, the Productivity Roundtable, and the growing overreach of regulators, Tim calls it as he sees it: a system that is increasingly hostile to employers, especially small and medium-sized ones. From the hypocritical decisions made by Fair Work to the clueless signs from government on the real productivity crisis, this episode rips through the noise and exposes just how disorganised and misaligned Australia’s workplace system has become. If you're an employer who's sick of carrying the load while being told you're the problem, this one’s for you.

    (081) Same Job, Same Pay & The Commission's Blatant Hypocrisy

    In this week’s episode, I break down the Fair Work Commission’s $66 million decision against BHP under the new “Same Job, Same Pay” legislation, and what it really means for every other employer in Australia. While this case targeted a mining giant, it’s the thousands of small and medium businesses who’ll feel the ripple effects. I unpack how the ACTU’s political powerplay has reshaped the workforce, how misguided Fair Work commentary is throwing fuel on the fire, and why this kind of decision is the death knell for employer-led productivity. Whether you agree with BHP’s model or not, the Commission's hypocrisy is staggering. Tune in for a brutal but honest reflection on where we’re heading.   www.hrcartel.com

    (080) Common Sense Wins: The Commission Pushes Back on Woke Overreach

    This week, Tim dives into a Fair Work Commission decision that, thankfully, was a win for common sense. After a council worker pushed back on being forced to participate in an Acknowledgement of Country at a routine pre-start meeting, Traditional Corporate HR jumped into overdrive with a misconduct process that ended in termination. But the Commission disagreed. This episode unpacks why the decision matters, how it protects employees from ideological overreach, and the growing concern of activist HR professionals turning workplaces into compliance traps. It’s a warning, a reminder, and a turning point. Employers, leaders, and employees: listen close. You’ll want to understand what this case just made crystal clear.

    (079) How I Would Re-Design Australia’s IR Framework, if I were PM.

    In this episode, Tim Dive lays out his blueprint for an Australian industrial relations overhaul, as if he were Prime Minister. Drawing on recent government overreach (5,000+ new rules in three years) and the Fair Work Commission’s tone-deaf stance toward small employers, Tim proposes splitting the Commission into a Small Business Division (≤50 staff) and a Big Business Division, mandating productivity-impact reviews for every Award change, and restricting Union bargaining to larger firms, while preserving workers’ safety-nets and genuine right to representation. He explains how this model would unleash innovation, simplify compliance, and drive real productivity gains for companies of all sizes.
