Notes
 
[1] In 1986 Robe River Iron & Associates (an employer), sought federal award coverage, as they were unhappy with the unfair dismissal laws in Western Australia, which did not exist under federal law, due to the need to satisfy 51(35). This has now been overcome by the Commonwealth relying on other heads of power for its unfair dismissal laws.
