Abstract
The paper compares and contrasts the Hanger and Niland reports—two major reports on industrial relations reform at a State level. It locates these reports within a political framework. The Hanger Report, relating to Queensland, was cautious and endorsed the centralized arbitration system. The Niland Report (relating to New South Wales), supported a decentralized, enterprise-based system. Both reports emphasize procedures at the expense of considering the content of industrial relations.Keywords
