BHP CEO Mike Henry has reiterated that the ‘same job, same pay’ provisions of the Closing Loopholes Bill could potentially force the resources group to discontinue its FutureFit training academies. Henry says 1,500 people have been inducted into the academies, which provide them with the skills that are needed to work in the mining industry. Henry also contends that the labour hire reforms would increase costs more broadly and make Australia less attractive as an investment destination. Henry says the proposed reforms are the most significant and far-reaching changes to Australia’s industrial relations laws since the WorkChoices regime.
