PPRREESSIIDDEENNTT’’SS MMEESSSSAAGGEE

New South Wales has long led the waynationally in promoting higher standardsand compliance within the securityindustry through the co-regulatorypartnership between industry andGovernment.The improvements havebeen in the areas of promoting nationalconsistency in licensing, improvedstandards and professionalism.

The Government’s recentannouncement to abandon the co-regulatory partnership may well placemany of these improvements atsignificant risk and take the industrybackwards.

As part of the changes the SecurityIndustry Regulator (SIR) will perform agreater regulatory and enforcement roleand will become part of the NSW PoliceForce State Crime Command and berenamed the Security Licensing &Enforcement Directorate (SLED). Industrywill bear the full brunt of funding theadditional 33 personnel within SLED atan initial cost of $4.7 million per year.

Diverting the blameThe changes are in response to theIndependent Commission againstCorruption (ICAC) report into Corruptionin the Provision of Security IndustryTraining. The report identified that theSIR and the Vocational Education andTraining Accreditation Board (VETAB)mismanaged the 2007 licence upgradeprocess and increased the risk ofcorruption in relation to security training.

Industry now appears to have beenpenalised and blamed for the NSWGovernment’s failure to correct internalfaults within the SIR (in dealing with the2007 license issues) and with VETAB (inthe ongoing accrediting and properauditing of training providers).Furthermore, no evidence has beenprovided to show that imposing

increased licence fees to fund a largerbureaucracy will result in any meaningfulimprovement in compliance levels acrossthe industry (particularly among smalleroperators).

The ICAC report also noted thatproper processes to assess and monitorthe performance of Approved SecurityIndustry Associations were not in place.ASIAL has for many years advocated tothe NSW Government that it needed tostrengthen the requirements for theseassociations to ensure greateraccountability and performance. A wellfunctioning co-regulatory frameworkwould have delivered the additionalcompliance and auditing services beingsought by Government within its currentcost structure and the fees being paidby industry.

It is unfortunate however that ASIAL’sadvice was not acted upon and that nowthe Government is introducing wholesalechange which risks reversing the positiveoutcomes achieved together under theco-regulatory framework.

It is widely acknowledged that of theten approved associations, only ASIALundertook the necessary investment tofulfil its obligations including expendingover $500,000 to promote to consumersthe need to use licensed securityproviders.

From the very outset, ASIAL’s positionon co-regulation was that it was aboutimproving standards and the level ofprofessionalism within the industrythrough a partnership between industryand Government. In accepting thisresponsibility ASIAL chose not toincrease membership fees (70% ofASIAL members pay less than $275 perannum), rather it focused on providingadditional benefits and services.

Whilst ASIAL accepts theGovernment’s right to terminate

mandatory membership, the major risk isthat it will encourage smaller and lessscrupulous providers to operate underthe radar and beyond the control ofindustry associations.

Where to now?ASIAL’s concern is that these changeswill effectively signal the end of co-regulation and the implementation of theagreed COAG reforms on developing auniform and consistent approach toindustry licensing.

Rather than disengaging with industry,there is a compelling case for greaterindustry engagement in framingcompliance and enforcementapproaches to address issues such asrates of pay, sham contracting andphoenixing.

Meaningful and long lastingimprovements in the industry will only beachieved through a genuine co-regulatory partnership betweengovernment and ‘recognised’ qualityindustry associations.

It is an inherent right of any industryto have a say in shaping its own destiny.The proposed changes take away thisright and hands over industry control toGovernment bureaucrats.This is not inthe interests of the industry, and moreimportantly the community as a whole.

REFORM OF THE NSW REGULATORY MODEL -BACK TO THE FUTURE?The Independent CommissionAgainst Corruption’s (ICAC)December 2009 report on the findingsof Operation Columba demonstratedthat more work needs to be done toensure ongoing compliance with theregulatory regime for the NSW securityindustry.

On its release in December 2009,ASIAL welcomed the findings of theICAC Report. Among the ICAC report’skey findings included that the SecurityIndustry Registry and VocationalEducation Training Advisory Boardmismanaged the September 2007licence upgrade process.

“Despite their concerns about thecompetence of security officers andthe quality and integrity of securitytraining, and their knowledge of pastcorruption in the industry, the SIR andVETAB did not apply this knowledge tothe security licence upgrade process.They did not identify all the corruptionopportunities or have in placesuccessful strategies to minimise themor detect corrupt activity.The upgradeprocess increased the risk ofcorruption by increasing theopportunities and instead of solvingthe problems in relation to securitytraining, it magnified them.”

(ICAC Report on the Provision andCertification of Security IndustryTraining)

The report also found that “… not allApproved Security IndustryAssociations (ASIAs) are currentlycapable of effectively carrying out theirrole in ensuring master licenseecompliance with the legislation andthe industry Code of Practice and theirperformance has not, to date, beenwell-monitored by the body tasked todo so: the Security Industry Council”

ASIAL has for many yearsadvocated to the NSW Governmentthat it needed to strengthen therequirements for these associations toensure greater accountability andperformance. A well functioning co-regulatory framework would have

delivered the additional complianceand auditing services being sought byGovernment within its current coststructure and the fees being paid byindustry.

While the ICAC’s findings andrecommendations related to securityindustry training issues, the NSWGovernment decided that they hadbroader relevance to the industry as awhole. Accordingly, it chose toabandon the co-regulatory partnershipwith industry and provide additionalresources to the NSW Police Force’sSecurity Industry Registry’s (SIR),which will be renamed the SecurityLicensing and EnforcementDirectorate.

SLED will report to theCommissioner of Police via StateCrime Command (an operationalpolicing command). It will assumeresponsibility for all integrity-relatedfunctions and compliance and willrecruit an additional 33 personnel.Tofund the additional personnel at SLED,an additional $4.7m annually will belevied on the security industry.TheGovernment has sought industry inputon how this charge should be applied.

The Government has advisedMaster licensees that they may chooseto minimise the impact of increases totheir licence fees by either negotiatingreductions in their industry associationfees, or by choosing to no longer be

members of associations.

Legislation will be introduced to theNSW Parliament in September to:• Make sure all powers provided for

under the Security Industry Act1997 that are necessary for theeffective conduct of complianceauditing, may be exercised bycivilian employees of the NSWPolice Force.

• Remove the industry monitoring roleof the Security Industry Council andinstead focus on the Council’s roleas an advisory body to the Ministerfor Police.

• Remove the current mandatoryrequirement placed on securityindustry Master licensees to retainfinancial membership of one of tenapproved industry associations.

• Specify the increases to licencefees to fund the expanded functionsof the SIR.The SIR will undertake to

communicate with industry to educatemembers and to communicateindustry suggestions and concernsback to the NSW Police Force and theNSW Government more generally.

The Government has advised that itwill take time to fully implement thechanges due to the need to recruitadditional staff, however it is expectedthis process will be completed by theend of the 2010/11 financial year.





HELPING WOMEN AVOID PREGNANCYDISCRIMINATIONThe Fair Work Ombudsman haslaunched a national campaigndesigned to inform women of theirworkplace rights while pregnant.

About 100,000 information packsare being sent to hospitals, GPs andother health service providers inmetropolitan and regional areasthroughout Australia. Pregnant womenwill receive the packs when theyregister with their preferred healthprofessional after becoming pregnant.

The packs contain magazines andpamphlets detailing the workplacerights of pregnant women, whatconstitutes pregnancy discrimination,the harm pregnancy discrimination cancause and how the Fair WorkOmbudsman can help women whoexperience it.

Acting Fair Work Ombudsman LeighJohns says the Agency received morethan 70 pregnancy discriminationcomplaints last financial year.

The Fair Work Ombudsman has hadthe power to investigate discriminationin the workplace since July 1, 2009.

Fair Work inspectors can alsoinvestigate allegations of discriminationon the grounds of race, colour, sex,

sexual preference, age, physical ormental disability, marital status, familyor carer responsibilities, religion,political opinion, national extraction orsocial origin.

Mr Johns says maternitydiscrimination has been one of themost common complaints, promptingthe new national awareness campaign.

“We want women to be aware oftheir rights so they can identify whenthey are being subjected to pregnancydiscrimination and know they can turnto the Fair Work Ombudsman for help.The news of impending parenthoodshould be met with delight, notdiscrimination,” he says.

Mr Johns says pregnancydiscrimination can include a range ofemployer behaviours, such as:• failing to let an employee take

parental leave,• declining to keep a job open,• demotion during pregnancy or on

return from parental leave, or• refusing to promote an employee

because they are pregnant.

“Threatening to engage in any of thesediscriminatory acts also constitutes

discrimination,” Mr Johns says.The Fair Work Ombudsman has

information about maternitydiscrimination available at its websiteat www.fairwork.gov.au or on the FairWork Infoline on 13 13 94 8am-6pmweekdays.

Following up on ASIAL’s call forconsumers to carefully questionproviders of personal activationdevices and to be wary of the claimsbeing made relating to the devices’ability to elicit a response by Police,Fire or Ambulance,Victoria Police havetaken a position.

Victoria Police has recently reviewedthe use of personal medical/securityalert devices that have an automaticdial up function for pre-programmedtelephone numbers, some of thesespecifically recommend including theemergency 000 number as a pre-programmed number.

Some retailers of personalmedical/security alert devices or“autodialers” have made claims that the useof the emergency 000 number hasbeen approved by emergency serviceproviders when this is not the case.These claims are misleading and

expose the user to a number of risks,including an activation not beingresponded to by emergency servicesor possible prosecution if activationsare not emergency situations.

The Victoria Police Alarm Policyreflects that these devices, which arenot monitored, where the emergency000 number is pre-programmed, willnot receive a police response.

GOVERNMENT MOVES TO FIGHT AGAINSTPHOENIX TAX FRAUDThe federal government has passedlegislation to strengthening lawsagainst Phoenix activity.The legislationis designed to stop unscrupulousoperators who deliberately liquidate acompany to avoid paying liabilitiesincluding workers wages,superannuation and other debts owedto business creditors and also the ATO.

The Assistant Treasurer, Senator NickSherry, has highlighted a significantstrengthening of laws to fight fraudulent'phoenix' activity which has beenpassed by Parliament.

Phoenix activity involves thedeliberate liquidation of a company toavoid paying liabilities - includingworkers' wages and superannuation,debts owed to other business creditorsand also taxes.

The business then 'rises' andcontinues operations through anothercorporate entity, controlled by the

same person or group of individuals,often with a very similar name and freeof the debts.

"This new legislation will make itmuch harder for unscrupulous

operators to engage in phoenix activityand stops them from cheating workersand other business people of whatthey are rightfully owed," the AssistantTreasurer said.




“It does this by expanding the use of'security deposits' and significantlyincreasing penalties."

The reforms are contained in the TaxLaws Amendment (Transfer of Provisions)Bill 2010.

"Security deposits act like a bond,which the Tax Commissioner can direct ataxpayer to make in relation to anexisting or future tax liability," theAssistant Treasurer said.

"The Commissioner can also acceptsecurity in another form, such as amortgage over property or a guarantee."

The new provisions expand the scopeof security deposits from applying only toincome tax to applying to all taxes thatthe Tax Commissioner administers.

The penalties for non-complianceincrease for individuals from 20 penaltyunits ($2,200) to 100 penalty units($11,000). For companies, they increase

from 100 penalty units ($11,000) to 500penalty units ($55,000).

The legislation also containsimportant new procedural safeguardsthat will govern how the TaxCommissioner uses the security depositmechanism, including requiring theCommissioner to write to the taxpayerclearly identifying the reasons why thedeposit has been requested andoutlining the taxpayer's review rights.

AUSTRALIAN SECURITY MEDALANNOUNCED



The Security in Government conference (SIG), this year,was all about…well…security in government.

To find that remarkable, you would have to know that in thepast few years — let’s face it, since 9/11 “changed everything”— the SIG agenda has been hijacked by terrorism, turning itinto something of a national security gabfest.

Of course, you can’t talk publicly about really interestingaspects of terrorism and counter-terrorism, the upshot beinga string of speakers offering less — often far less —information than you’d find with a decent search engine.

As a result, the core audience — agency security advisers,policy wonks, bureaucrats, information technology securityadvisers and private security contractors to Government —werefast losing interest. After all, their daily concerns are moreabout things like preventing walk-in theft, loss of information,or illegal computer use, rather then watching out for Osamaand his crew.The reality is if there were a terrorist attack, itwould quickly become the business of first responders andthen investigative agencies.The point is, yes terrorism is animportant issue, but probably as relevant on a day-to-day basisto this crowd as design tips on security for kittens.

SIG’s decline as a source of information and networkingopportunities was highlighted by the fact that this was the22nd SIG conference in 23 years — hardly anyone noticed2009 slip by without one.

This year’s turnaround came about mostly because theNational Security Resilience Policy Division, part of theFederal Attorney-General’s Department, picked up organisingthe conference and decided to rethink the SIG concept withthe aim of getting it back on track as the key Governmentsecurity event on the conference calendar.

The first sign of difference in this year’s SIG — with thetheme Securing Our Business — was the choice of

speakers.To be sure, there were government representatives,such as the Federal Attorney-General, Robert McClelland,and the National Security Adviser, Duncan Lewis, amongothers. But, there were also speakers from the private sector,such as Paul Maihi, Head of Crisis & Security Management,Group Operations Westpac, and Michael Julian, GeneralManager, Westfield Security. Now, what’s that all about? Well,amid the SIG rethink was the need to reflect the significantpolicy shifts that have been taking place.You see, behind thescenes it hasn’t all been about the War On Terror.There hasbeen a distinct broadening of the security agenda —population, climate, organised crime and so on — and arealisation that Government is not the font of all knowledge.Sure, if you want to know about the likes of locking stuff away,go to a Government organisation. In the past, after all, it wasall about the “need to know”.Today, however, is about need toshare. As such, building security systems around informationsharing is best found in private sector practices. SIG,therefore, is an excellent forum for building much-needed

conduits between the public and private sector.Another sign of change was that the Federal

Attorney-General had something more to say than aturgid Google search on the history of terrorism.Apart from A-G’s Department dumpingspeechwriters — with staff in the know writing thematerial now — there have been some significantchanges in policies, approaches, and activities,perhaps best reflected in McClelland’s launch atSIG of the Government’s new Protective SecurityPolicy Framework (PSPF). Okay, the policy wasn’tactually available on the day — having failed toemerge in time from the quagmire of what was thenthe Rudd administration — and the press release inpoint of fact ended:“More information about thenew Protective Security Policy Framework isavailable at.”

See anything missing?In Government terms protective security

comprises the physical, personnel, informationand procedural measures that are put in place tosafeguard Australia’s national security interests.

“The new policy creates a more effectiveprotective security framework by streamliningpractices in order to achieve better securityoutcomes as well as reduce red tape, increaseefficiency, eliminate duplication and reduce costs,”McClelland said.

“The current framework was developed when thebusiness of Government wasn’t as diverse as it is currently.In today’s security climate, Government and private sectorpartnership is essential and we need a system that can betailored to the nature of the task, the identity of the partiesand the relevant security issues considered.”

The Protective Security Manual (PSM) had grown to over250 pages, containing more than 400 different mandatoryrequirements.

“The new framework contains just 33 with a tieredframework consisting of a range of core standards, policiesand guidelines – some to apply across the board, and othersto be developed by and apply to specific agencies, takinginto account their individual work and function,” saidMcClelland.

In short, anyone in the business of providing security togovernment had better get their head around the PSPF quicksmart. (The information is now available atwww.ag.gov.au/pspf.)

So, was SIG an overall success? In addition to relevantand interesting content being on the money, all the numbersalso headed in the right direction: Conference attendancewas up by 20 per cent to 747 people; exhibition sales up by

45 per cent to 122 booths; and sales of conference tickets,booth, sponsorship and social events pulled in $437,000,with a somewhat embarrassing — since the aim is not tomake money — profit of somewhere between $120,000 to$150,000, which the organisers say will be ploughed backinto next year’s SIG.

There were a couple of minor downsides.A few people grumbled that the material did not go deep

enough for their liking. Speakers, however, rarely win over sucha large and diverse crowd, by lecturing at Masters level.

Also, the conference dinner speaker from the US,Christopher Painter, Senior Director for Cybersecurity, NationalSecurity Staff,The White House, deserved better than chinkingglasses, chatting, face-pulling and general hub-bub from aboorish segment of the crowd — mostly security providers, ithas to be said. In fairness, Painter’s discussion was toointeresting and too important for a dinner gig and should havebeen part of the conference proper. Next year’s organisersmight want to think about a dinner speaker who isinspirational or funny — or even better, inspirational and funny.

All of which is pretty much nitpicking.The only real downside, then, is it is tough to write a review

— especially with any sense of wit or irony — about an eventthat goes well.

And, this was one extremely tough review to write.

Arriving at the Attorney-General’sDepartment’s glass and marble hotelstyle offices, complete with atrium andtrendy coffee shop, the female voice onthe other end of the reception deskphone tells me the man I have come tosee, Mike Rothery, head of the FederalAttorney General’s National SecurityResilience Policy Division, has justpopped out to Gabyz to get a bite to eat.

A short while later, Rothery greets meat the front entrance — dark suit trousers,pale grey shirt and regulation dark tie —holding a cardboard cup of hot chips inhis hand.“Comfort food,” he says. He’srecovering from a bout of flu, courtesy ofhis kids.

We make our way upstairs — via adrinks machine to buy a diet cola — to hiscorner office. But there are no downtownmetropolitan views here. Instead, it looksover a sand-covered children’s play areawith shade cloths, bouncy balls andbuckets. Beyond that, a car park withGabyz, a café a demountable buildingwith plastic tables and chairs outside.

The office is steel and blond wood

furniture, white wall, ash coloured carpet,and a plasma TV suspended from theceiling. Next to the flat screen computeron the desk sits a large Macquariedictionary, behind the desk chair, atraditional safe. Along the window shelfare stress balls, except they are in theshape of yellow rubber ducks withGovcert stamped on the side, save oneshaped like a red heart.

As we sit at a round meeting table withfour chairs, Rothery slides a partiallyfrosted glass wall with a white tyre trackpattern across the middle, shutting hisoffice from the open plan area. It is quiet.So quiet, you can hear the low hum of theair-conditioning.

The 26-year veteran of Governmentbureaucracy speaks as someone whohas confidence in his ability and iscomfortable in his position…

Security Insider:Thanks for your time.I wonder, in 2007 there was a changein leadership, what has happened inthat time?

Mike Rothery: Well, we in the Attorney-

General’s Department restructured at theend of 2008 to reflect a number ofchanges in the approach to homelandsecurity with the change of government.One of those was to move to the all-hazards approach, which is to try andmake sure that the programs that we runand the effort that government makes tominimise risk to the community, that if weare going to spend time and effort on acapability, that we try and make thatcapability deal with the broadest numberof hazards.Whether it is about commandand control, or communications systems,or policy, it is about saying, rather thanhave, you know, a sort of stove-pipedapproach to dealing with terrorism, naturaldisasters, manmade hazards, such asinfrastructure failure, it is to say, well canwe actually develop capabilities that helpmitigate all of those, or more than one?And, that’s an important commitment thatthe Government has made.The other isthat the Prime Minister [Rudd] delivered anational security statement to Parliamentin the end of 2008 broadening what wewould normally call national security for it

COMMONSENSE:A GIANT LEAP FOR SECURITY POLICY

By Rod Cowan*.


to cover threats such as seriousorganised crime, major natural disasters,and what that has done is that it has sortof said that the way that government hasorganised itself, particularly the way thatthe Federal Government has organiseditself, to deal with these threats of nationalsignificance is that we are now going touse that approach and the resources thathave traditionally been assigned todealing with those high end nationalsecurity matter are now going to beapplied to a broader range of threats.That,of course….

SI:The phone rings. It’s the boss.Rothery returns after a shortconversation.

MR: So, the Department’s restructurewas in a good part to position theDepartment to achieve those outcomes;that is the all-hazards approach and toapply the approach that had been appliedto serious matters of national security, to abroader range of threats, including thingslike serious and organised crime andmajor natural disasters. And, theconsequence of that is that of thatrestructure is that we have invested in amore strategic approach to ouremergency management work, throughthe creation of a new strategic policy areathat is working with the States andTerritories on a resilience-basedapproach, which was signed off by COAGin December 2009.We are also pursuinga resilience-based approach with ourwork for critical infrastructure, working onimplementing recommendations from areview of cyber security that has part ofthat arrangement as well, and also lookingat the other areas in the Department withregard to our operational co-ordinationand crisis management arrangementsand our capability developmentarrangements. So, it has been quite acomprehensive rethink about the way thatthe Department orders it outcomes.

SI: What is it then that you see as yourcurrent mandate?

MR: Well, the Division that I look afteris the National Security Resilience PolicyDivision has it’s goal is to help prevent ormitigate the effects of hazards on thecommunity, be it from natural disasters, be

it from infrastructure failure, or attacks oninfrastructure, issues around cybersecurity from organised crime, or issuesrelating to things like terrorist accessingchemicals to make home-madeexplosives, or things around identity theftand identity fraud. So, the Division’sresponsibilities are quite broad and theyrelate both to the way that we protectgovernment from a security point of view,including cyber security, but also what dowe do with the private sector? So, ourpartnerships with the private sectoraround things like critical infrastructure,cyber identity security, those things are allwithin the scope for the Division. So, it is areasonably large slice of the domesticsecurity policy.

SI:That are of private partnership wasobviously a big part of Security inGovernment [SIG conference] this year.There seemed to be a lot more talkabout this working together withbusiness, but what are the practicaloutcomes of that?

MR: SIG is an interesting example.TheSecurity in Government conference —traditionally a place for the securitypractitioners in government to cometogether, hear about changes in policy,learn about best practice — has in themore recent past been used to talk aboutnational security issues, particularlyterrorism issues more broadly, but wehave made a conscious effort this year tobring it back to a practitioner’s forum.Now, one of the things that we thoughtabout is about, well where is bestpractice? There had been perhaps a smalldegree of arrogance that government wasthe source of best practice in protectivesecurity and in some areas it clearly is. Ithink in terms of some the bestcapabilities in protective security being incyber security, some of the bestapproaches to the prevention ofsurreptitious access to information, whatgovernment does is best practice and weprobably have some things…lessons thatcan be passed on and shared with theprivate sector. But, I other areas ofprotective security, it certainly was myview that we were failing to exploit what Isaw as a great deal of knowledge andcompetence that was in the private

sector, not only in terms of the securityindustry but in the way that security isdone in business more generally.Youknow, if you want to know about bestpractice in CCTV, you would probably goand talk to a casino. If you want to talkabout the protection of staff in high-riskareas, it is probably much more likely tobe in the private sector than government.In some respects, we are lucky that wedon’t have that — we do have in parts —but where do government agencies go towhen that is an issue for them? When it isnot something that is a common problemacross agencies but is a commonproblem in many other industries and theprivate sector. So, one of the steps thatwe took was to try and invite some privatesector speakers on to the SIG program.And, also to allow more industrydelegates to actually attend SIG. Really, inpart, to start to work with securityprofessionals and get the networkingacross security professionals, be they inthe private sector, be they in government,or be they in the security industry.The ideathat we are just going to have acommunity that is only for securitypractitioners within government agenciesseem to be cutting your nose off to spiteyour face.

SI:There are limits, though, isn’t there?If you open it up too much, then youend up getting invaded by sales people,don’t you?

MR: There is this sort of balancebetween having the conversationdominated by product placements orhaving a conversation where you actuallyfind that the security practitioner ingovernment have a lot in common withtheir counterparts in business.That’s notto say that there is not interest in findingout what is on the market or thecapabilities that companies have in termsof services or products.There is aninterest in that but it is not the onlyinterest. It is not the only show. It is anissue about finding a balance.We alsohave to sort of push back on this sort ofinstinctive negative reaction that securitysales people are just out to sell you aproduct and aren’t interested in what isgood practice in the industry or what arethe emerging problems or what are the



>



emerging markets.We all want to be in asituation….[The same phone ringsagain.]…Sorry.

Rothery goes to his desk and returnsafter another short phone conversation.

SI: So, you were saying the interactionwith sales people…

MR: Yeah, so there has also got to bea maturing of this with the industry, aswell. I mean, if the industry is going to beinvited in to participate in strategising or totalk about the future and to talk aboutemerging issues, there has got to be a bitof maturity about that, in terms of maybeoccasionally setting aside the immediatesales pitch for an opportunity to talk aboutthe future.You know, when we engagewith many of the big defence industrycompanies on things like cyber security,they are able to walk and chew gum atthe same time; they are able to come inand talk strategically and then come in aweek later and tell you about their latestproduct offering. ITwould be good to havethat relationship with the security industrymore broadly.

SI: At SIG there was an announcementof a new security policy — but the policywasn’t actually available — what are theoutcomes of that policy?

MR: Well, that policy went live on thefollowing Friday, so you can get it fromwww.ag.gov.au/pspf.

The Protective Security PolicyFramework [PSPF] is our first element of anew protective security policy for theCommonwealth. It replaces thegovernance section of the old ProtectiveSecurity Manual [PSM]. At the moment,practitioners are using the twodocuments: the new PSPF for policy, andthe old PSM for the practical elements ofphysical security, personnel security,information security etc.What is differentabout the new Protective Security PolicyFramework is that it tries to separatepolicy from process. So, what it is askingCEOs to do is to guarantee certainsecurity outcomes, but give them adegree of flexibility about how theyachieve those outcomes, by taking whatwe would regard as a more conventionalapproach to risk. Previously, the PSM wasvery much driven by an understanding of

harm, that is classified material that wouldhave a lot of damage to government isprotected in almost absolute ways. And,other material that seemed to have lessharm, then it has a lower regime ofphysical security in procedural securitymeasures. So, it wasn’t really risk based, itwas driven by impact not taking intoaccount things like opportunity orlikelihood of a particular attempt to stealor misuse information.What we haveintroduced is a more mainstream conceptin accordance with the new ISO standard.But, you know, importantly, we have statedright up front that the purpose of having aprotective security policy is not only toensure the protection of information, butis actually also to ensure and enableinformation sharing. Now, the old policynever said that and what that meant wasthat whenever there was a need tointerpret the policy, it was alwaysinterpreted in a way of, well, you default toprotect and default to not disclose. Now,what we have made clear is that thepurpose of having a policy — astandardised approach across agencies —is to actually enable the sharing ofinformation across agencies.The securitypolicy itself should not become the barrierto effective information sharing.Thosethings are conceptually fairly easy — theydon’t take many pages to write — but theyare a significant shift in terms of both theapproach but also the outcome that thepolicy is trying to achieve.

SI: Isn’t that a bit like rewriting theBible? I mean have you had muchresistance to these ideas?

MR: I have to say that the reactions fallin to sort of two camps.There are thosethat are really excited by the idea of a risk-based approach, which will allow peopleto find more innovative ways of achievingthe security outcome but also deliveringservices, particularly online.There are alsosome critics out there who sort of say youare moving us away from a complianceregime and a compliance regime is easy;you know what you have got to do, youdon’t have to argue with people, you don’thave to make any calculations to risk, youjust follow the rules…

SI: …tick the boxes?...

MR: Yeah, and we are taking thatsafety net away.

SI: Are you providing counselling forthese people?

MR: Well, we are certainly allowing areasonably sober introduction period.Weare releasing the policy framework, now. Itwill be another nine to twelve monthsbefore all of the other procedural parts ofthe policy are reviewed and published.Weare working with the training centre herein the Attorney-General’s Department thatprovides training to Agency SecurityAdvisors and Government.We are alsoworking with people like the Audit Officeto see how future audits of agencysecurity will be done in accordance withthe new policy framework. And, of course,that approach is going to permeate themore procedural parts of the framework,relating to things like ITsecurity, physicalsecurity. It will start to take in things likeaggregation, so should a single documentor piece of information get the sameprotection as a million pieces ofinformation? At the moment the rules sayexactly the same. Common sense wouldsay, if you have got a single place which isa rich source of data, you might need todefend that a bit harder than a singledesk draw with one piece of information.That sort of approach is common sense.So, yes, we are asking people to change,but we are actually asking to change tosomething that is a little bit more intuitive,a little bit more real world, and takes intoaccount the fact that most of theinformation we now store and create andsend to each other is electronic, ratherthan bits of paper, and the old policy reallywas paper based.

SI: What does this mean for business?If I was providing products or servicesto the Government, is this something Iwould need to get my head around?

MR: Oh, I think so. I think, if you are acontractor for Government, some of thosecontractors at the moment have half adozen security clearances in differentagencies. As of 1st October, this year, thevast majority of contractors will only needto have one clearance at the highest levelfor the highest customer, which will thencount for all of the other customers.

quite often told people have got four, five,six different security clearances, each ofwhich they have to pay for as part of theircontracts. So, for example, it is going totidy that up, because we are going tohave a new Australian Governmentsecurity vetting agency, located in theDepartment of Defence, which will bedoing the vast majority of securityclearances.

We are also going to be moving toportability of clearances.That is, whensomeone moves from agency to agency,those clearances will be recognised untilthey need to be re-validated. People won’thave to fill out the forms again.They won’thave to go through another process.Obviously, there is going to be, because ofthe risk-based approach, there is going tobe the opportunity to introduce new andinnovative security solutions, probablyoutside of, or broader than, the range ofsecurity treatments that governmentagencies have used in the past. And, Iunderstand from my colleagues in theDefence Signals Directorate [DSD] thatthey are thinking of a similar approacharound the security of the Internetconnected IT, which is going to meanthe possibility of some consideration ofsome new and different sorts of securityproducts and services.

SI: Looking at COAG for the moment.How far away is some sort of nationalframework within COAG, say, forguarding?

MR: Well, there is an agreement for anational framework on the guardingservices part of the security industry.Obviously, we are waiting for theimplementation to be completed by theStates and Territories and we are verykeen that that happens.There hasobviously been a little bit of slippage insome of the dates, but we are stillworking with the States and Territories tosee whatever obstacles there are forthem to implement the agreement. Morebroadly, one of the things that we havebeen approached on is around a greaterrecognition of proper, professionalcompetencies and things like theconsulting end of the market.That is notfully regulated across all the States andTerritories, so some regulate, some don’t.

There are some differences there interms of the professional standards thathave to be met to achieve licensing orregistration in different States. Obviously,for the Federal Government to assist, itwould be our strong preference not tobe sort of picking a winner; not to besaying it is going to be this part of theindustry or that industry association andnot that other peak body. Our preferencewould be that the industry itself comesto some sort of agreement on whatdoes a security professional look like?And, [with] people with differentqualifications, what does it mean thatthey are capable of doing? Because, asecurity consultant could be everythingfrom visiting your home, telling youwhere your movement sensitive lightsand door locks should be, through tosomeone that is working with a largemulti-national corporation, looking attheir arrangements for potential hostagetaking of executives, when they aretravelling overseas, or issues relating todifficult equations of mixing safety andsecurity around things like oil refineriesan gas plants.The types ofcompetencies that are required, the typeof experience you would expectsomeone to have, have to really betailored to the particular task that you aregiving them. So it is a complex sort ofmatrix of skills, qualifications,certifications, competencies, as well asall those issues about character, goodreputation, sound business financials,and so forth. Our strong preference isthat industry sort itself out and bring toGovernment a model that has got strongconsensus across the industry.Then, wecan have a look at talking to the Stateand Territory Governments about seeingthat reflected in the licensing regime. Atthe moment it is so balkanised that therereally is not an elegant alternative towhat the State and Territories havealready done. One can hardly blame theState regulators fore the approachesthat have been taken, because no onehas made it any easier for them. So, thebody that has just been created [theAustralasian Security ProfessionalsCouncil], which we strongly support,which is doing this work of working withthe peak bodies, working with the

industry associations, and building thatconsensus, which will then, hopefully,turn into some more detaileddiscussions about professionalcompetencies and practitioneraccreditation, that’s the way forward. Ifindustry gets behind that and makes itwork, then it becomes much, mucheasier for government regulators to linklicensing requirements to theseindependent professional competencies.

SI: Finally, what is your ambition forthe future?

MR: There is going to be someannouncements in the next few weeksabout our move from criticalinfrastructure protection to criticalinfrastructure resilience.This is ourcommitment to what we see as thebenefits of a resilience-based approachfor business and that is going to meanan entirely fresh approach to therelationship we have had with the criticalinfrastructure owners.We will be rampingup the services that CERTAustraliadelivers to the business community. Itcommenced operating at the beginningof the year, inheriting the work fromGovcert.au, but we have got a while newrange of activities and products that willbe coming online for business in thesecond half, some of those interweavedwith the new ISP security code ofpractice that has just been released.Weare working with the States andTerritories on a disaster resiliencestrategy for the whole of the country,around our ability to deal with bothmanmade and natural disasters.We havegot to bring that back to leaders at theend of 2010.The core of a lot of this isour relationship with business. It is aboutthe role that business has in things likeidentity security, cyber security, security ofchemicals; our relationship with thesecurity industry and the consultantsaround the security of the AustralianGovernment systems and agencies; and,of course, our work with CERTAustraliaand critical infrastructure. So, we live anddie on the strength of our relationshipwith the Australian business community.

SI:Thanks again for your time.MR: Thank you.

12.00 pm – 12.45 pm SPECIALIST PANEL - UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF PROFILING AND POLICY IN SECURITY MANAGEMENTProfiling is comparing the characteristics of a person thought to be a security risk to the available data on those known to have threatened, approached or attacked. The validity of profiling has been strongly criticised as the‘profile’ is often little more than a shopping list of general traits which provide limited opportunities for intervening. This panel discussion examines the practicalities of profiling and the required shifts in policy to help security operatives move beyond rote questions to methods of identifying the behaviours that increase risk and the strategies that derail criminal intent.Facilitator: Steve Jackson, Head of Security, Qantas Airways LimitedPanellists include:

TRENDS INCOMMERCIALARMED ROBBERYBy Lance Smith & Erin Louis*



Overall trendsThe Australian Institute of Criminology’s National Armed

Robbery Monitoring Program data (NARMP) has shown noconsistent patterns in overall trends for armed robbery inAustralia since incident data was first collected (2004) to 2007.While data indicates that from 2004 to 2006 there was a 20percent increase in the number of armed robbery incidents inAustralia, in 2007 there was an eight percent decrease in thenumber of incidents.Thus, although it is interesting to examineoverall trends for armed robbery, it is more useful to focus onunderstanding trends in specific locations where armedrobbery incidents occurred. For example, the data shows thatstreet armed robbery to bank armed robbery have distinctlydifferent characteristics.This article will examine some of thereasons for why trends in different types of armed robbery mayvary in different ways at different times.

Commercial locationsThere have been changes in the nature and frequency of

armed robberies committed in the five commercial locationsdiscussed in this article over the life of the NARMP. Somehave experienced consistent increases, while others haveseen decreases and others have seen fluctuations from yearto year. Some commercial locations have seen changes inthe characteristics of their victimisation, such as an increasein the number of firearms used by offenders. Generally, thedata highlights that different commercial industriesexperienced armed robbery in different forms and that thiscan change over time.

Banking and financial institutions‘Bank’ armed robberies have some key features worth

highlighting. First, the number of armed robberies at this type oflocation remained at just below 100 incidents per year from2004 to 2007. However, in 2006 numbers dropped considerablyto 76 recorded incidents - an 18 percent decrease from 2005.

Another change in the characteristics of armed robbery atbanks involved the use of firearms. In 2004, firearms were usedin 41 percent of armed robberies at banks and by 2007 thishad increased to 49 percent - an overall increase of eightpercent.

A third shift in the trends for banking and financial armedrobbery involved a slight decrease in the average age ofoffenders and this may be important.There are three main

typologies of armed robbery offenders: amateurs, intermediatesand professionals. Professional armed robbers are more likelyto use firearms; plan their offences with much more detail; aremore motivated; are more likely to use violence; and are morelikely to commit armed robbery as a means of making a living.Offender age is one of several key characteristics that helpsdefine an armed robbery offender as potentially being a‘professional’.

In 2004, offenders targeting banking and financial institutionshad an average age of 30 years, making them the oldest of allarmed robbery offenders. By 2007 the average age for theseoffenders had decreased to 28 years.Whether this decreasingage trend will continue remains unknown, but it requiresmonitoring.

Service stationsOver the four year period examined there have been

complex shifts in service station armed robbery. Most notablewas the substantial decrease in the number of incidentsbetween 2006 and 2007 (a 34 percent decrease), following agradual increase in incidents between 2004 and 2006. Anidentified decrease in incidents in 2007 also reflected a changein trends regarding weapon use in service station armedrobbery.

There were two main shifts in trends regarding weaponsused in service station armed robbery. First, there was anincrease in the number of firearms used by offenders.Thisincrease was unexpected as the profile of an offender targetingservice stations is generally one who is less professional.Historically, offenders targeting this type of location act aloneand use easy to obtain weapons such as knives rather thanfirearms. In 2004, firearms only constituted 9 percent ofweapons used in service station armed robbery but this hasincreased gradually each year since then. In 2007 firearmsaccounted for almost a quarter (24%) of all weapons used inarmed robberies targeting service stations.

Second, this change helps explain the gradual decrease inthe use of knives in service station armed robbery. In 2004knives accounted for 65 percent of weapons used in servicestation armed robbery compared with 47 percent in 2007.These changes in service station armed robbery need to beconsidered by the industry and analysed to help determine whythere has been a drop in the number of incidents, but the useof potentially more dangerous weapons is increasing.

The next shift in trends for service station armed robberyworthy of highlighting is the number of offenders involved in anincident. Generally, the typical armed robbery offender forservice stations is considered amateurish and opportunistic.Amateur armed robbers tend to have short-sighted intentions,little understanding of what to expect from the experienceand/or of how much money they are likely to obtain. As a result,the majority of incidents involve a lone offender.

However, in recent years there has been an increasedlikelihood of two or more offenders being involved. In 2004, 82percent of incidents involved lone offenders and 14 percentinvolved two offenders.Whereas in 2007 only 74 percent ofincidents involved lone offenders, with dual offenders nowconstituted 21 percent of service station armed robberies. So,while the typical service station armed robbery offender stillacts alone, there is an increased likelihood of a co-offendernow being involved.

Licensed premisesLicensed premises are one industry that has seen

considerable shifts in armed robbery trends. For instance, therewas a 22 percent increase in the number of armed robberyincidents involving licensed premises between 2004 and 2007.There have also been shifts in specific characteristics oflicensed premises armed robbery.

The use of firearms has fluctuated considerably at varioustimes between 2004 and 2007; however in 2004 and 2007 44percent of armed robberies at licensed premises involved afirearm. While the use of firearms in 2007 reflects the rate ofuse in 2004, it is the fluctuations over these years that areworth analysing in order to determine the reasons they occur,as it has a direct impact on those affected by armed robberyat these locations, and may inform crime reduction strategies.

Like banking and financial armed robbery, the average agefor licensed premises armed robbery offenders also decreasedbetween 2004 and 2007. Although not considered asprofessional and generally not as experienced as their bankarmed robbery counterparts, offenders targeting licensedpremises are still considered as intermediate offenders ratherthan amateur or opportunistic offenders.That is, they are moreorganised and more experienced than amateurs, are likely toengage in some planning and are prepared to use weapons ifrequired. In 2004 the average age of an offender was 27 yearsold; this decreased to only 24 years old in 2007. Similar tobanking and financial armed robbery offenders this trend willbe monitored closely over the coming years as it may signify ashift in the profile of offenders now targeting these commercialbusinesses.

Another changing offender characteristic involves theincreased presence of multiple offenders. While theinvolvement of three offenders in an incident has remainedconstant (7%), incidents with dual offenders increased eachyear between 2004 and 2007 from 12 percent to 27 percent in

2007. Incidents of licensed premise armed robbery involvinglone offenders have decreased every year from 2004 (79%) to2007 (61%).

Post offices and newsagentsCommercial armed robberies of post offices and

newsagents (this is a combined location category employed byNARMP) are not targeted as often as some other locations,however they still deserve consideration. One reason for this isthe decrease in the number of incidents experienced. Bearingin mind the smaller numbers (in 2004 111 incidents of armedrobbery occurred at these locations across Australia), from2004 to 2007 there has been an overall 15 percent decreasein the number of incidents.

One characteristic that separates armed robberies atnewsagents and post offices from other locations is thetendency to be targeted in the early morning pre-businesshours (6am-9am).This factor has become even moreprominent with a recent sharp increase in the number ofincidents. In 2004, 18 percent of incidents at these locationsoccurred between 6am and 9am which increased to 35percent in 2007.This clearly indentifies the increased risk tothese businesses in the early hours of the morning as they aresetting up for the day. It is important to monitor thischaracteristic as it continues to be a factor that distinguishesarmed robbery at this particular location category from othercommercial premises.

Corner stores, supermarkets and takeawaysCorner stores, supermarkets and takeaways (another

NARMP location category) has not experienced as many shiftsin armed robbery patterns in recent times, but there are stillsome changes worth highlighting.The first of these is the 20percent decrease in the number of incidents between 2004and 2007.

The other notable shift was the increased presence ofmultiple offenders. In the period from 2004 to 2007, theinvolvement of two or more offenders in an incident increasedfrom 19 percent to 31 percent. Similar to other commerciallocations this increase in multiple offenders coincided with adecline in the number of incidents involving lone offendersfrom 81 percent in 2004 to 69 percent in 2007.

Future trendsThe continuing examination of shifting trends in commercial

armed robbery is important as a means of identifying changingpatterns in armed robberies over time. Further, monitoring canhelp explain any displacement (when characteristics of crimechange to counter crime prevention strategies) in particulararmed robberies or other crimes that might occur and canassist in identifying opportunities for implementing importantcrime prevention strategies with the best chance of remainingeffective in future years.

INDUSTRIAL ReLATIONS


ADVERSE ACTION(UNFAIR DISMISSAL)“ALL INCLUSIVE RATES” AND PAID PARENTAL LEAVE By Chris Delaney*

continued page 69 >

The new industrial relations system has

brought with it a great deal of confusion.

The Fair Work Ombudsman and Fair

Work Australia have clarified some

matters. In this article we consider three

matters which have a significant impact

on business.

Adverse action (the alternative unfairdismissal claim?)

Section 342 of the Fair Work Act sets outthe type of conduct which will be adverseaction.Adverse action can be taken by:1. an employee against his or her employer 2. an employer against an employee (or

prospective employee)

3. an independent contractor against aprincipal

4. a principal against an independentcontractor

5. a person against an industrial association.

However most adverse action claims willbe made by employees in relation to thealleged adverse actions taken by employerswhich include termination of employment; orinjuries to the employee in their employment;or changing the position of the employee totheir detriment; or discriminating between theemployee and other employees of theemployer.

“Workplace Rights”, employmententitlements and the freedom to exercise and

enforce those entitlements, are also protectedagainst adverse action

A person has a workplace right if theperson:• is entitled to the benefit of or has a role or

responsibility under a workplace law, aworkplace instrument or an order made byan industrial body,

• is able to initiate or participate in a processor proceeding under a workplace lawincluding a conference or hearing at FWAor a court, or

• is able to make a complaint under aworkplace law to seek compliance with alaw or industrial instrument or if thatperson is an employee, in relation to his orher employment, such as an internalgrievance for a bullying complaint.

Two recent decisions have clarified the

treatment of adverse action claims:

Automotive Food Metals Engineering

Printing and Kindred Industries Union v

Philips Engineering Australia Pty (Philips)

[2010] FCA 611 (15 June 2010)In this case Philips terminated an

employee on the grounds of redundancy. Thematter went to the Federal Court where theemployee’s Union put that he be reinstated tohis position. The Union claimed that Philipshad engaged in adverse action by terminatingthe affected employee's employmentbecause of the employee's union activitiesand not for the reason that his position wasredundant.

The Court agreed to make the order toreinstate the employee until the substantive


claim could be heard on the basis that theevidence indicated that the redundancy wasa "smokescreen" for the real reasons fortermination, which were the employee's unionactivities.

This case shows that in adverse actionclaims the Courts are willing to order re-instatement or make orders to stop atermination of employment occurring until thesubstantive application can be heard.

Employers need to be thorough interminations of employment, disciplinarymatters, transfers, demotions and changes interms and conditions of employment toensure that these are undertaken withfairness and equity, and not on the basis thatthe employee exercised a workplace right.

Construction Forestry Mining and EnergyUnion v BHP Coal Pty Ltd [2010] FCA 590(11 June 2010)

In the BHP Coal case the Union claimedthat BHP Coal breached an enterpriseagreement provision and the Fair Work Act'sadverse action provisions.

The Union's adverse action claim was thatBHP Coal breached the provisions anindustrial agreement relating to howdisciplinary meeting should be conducted.The Union further claimed that BHP Coalengaged in adverse action by threatening todismiss the employee if he did not participatein the disciplinary meeting with the presenceof a BHP Coal HR representative present.The employee and the Union representativewalked out of the meeting and refused toattend subsequent meetings.

BHP Coal subsequently terminated theemployee for serious misconduct arising fromthe issues which were the subject of thedisciplinary meetings.

On the adverse action argument, theCourt found that nothing the employer or itsmanagers had done constituted an injury or athreat to injure the employee because heexercised his workplace rights.

The Court particularly looked at thecomments made by the manager aboutgetting alternative representation and foundthat this did not constitute adverse action.

Suggestion for employersAdverse action claims are increasing. They

are being used as an alternative to unfairdismissal claims, compensation is notcapped and claims can be made up to 60days after termination of employment.

To limit the effect of an adverse actionclaim employers should:• make sure decisions are unambiguous,

fair and valid and not for some otherreason related to the employee'sworkplace rights or industrial activities

• ensure that managers understand the newgeneral protection provisions and this isreflected in training and procedures

• action claims that are not in relation totermination of employment can becommenced within six years of theincident, it is therefore vital to documenteverything throughout employment

• develop a system to identify high riskissues or employees, so that grievancescan be dealt with internally rather thanemployees making claims to externaltribunals and courts.

Employers should not be reticent to takedisciplinary action where warranted, providedthat that action is taken on bona fide groundsusing procedural fairness and in line withpolicies and/or the requirements of theworkplace instrument.

All Inclusive Rates and Absorbing Over

Award payments

The Fair Work Ombudsman has confirmedthat it considers off-set clauses as a validmeans of making payments to satisfyminimum monetary award entitlements.

As long as an "all-inclusive wage rate"is higher than the amounts the employee

would have received under an award forhours worked, employers can use set-offclauses to pay their employees an all-inclusive rate.

Paying a higher wage rate than the awardminimum will offset penalties or loadings inthe award where it is clear that the partiesintended to do so (and in fact, the amountsatisfies the entitlements that wouldotherwise be payable to the employee).

Some awards include clauses whichexpressly allow an employer pay anannualised salary in satisfaction of certainmonetary entitlements (provided that certainconditions are met), others do not have suchclauses.

Provided that an all inclusive rate is higherthan the amounts the employee would havereceived under an award for the hoursworked, employers covered by awards

without annualised salary clauses can useclauses to pay their employees an all-inclusive hourly wage or annual salary insatisfaction of minimum award entitlementssuch as minimum wages, allowances, leaveloading, penalty rates, overtime, andweekend and public holiday rates.

It is important that such agreements with

employees are:

• By genuine agreement free from anycoercion,

• Committed to writing and kept as timeand wages records,

• Clear as to what penalties, loadings etc

The Fair Work Ombudsman’s Guidance

Note #7 includes the following:

Absorption and offsetting of over-awardpaymentsThe model transitional provisions provide that: “The monetary obligations imposed onemployers by this award may be absorbedinto over-award payments. Nothing in thisaward requires an employer to maintain orincrease any over-award payment.”

This means that if an employer was paying$2 more per hour than the minimum wagebefore 1 July 2010 and the minimum wagewas increased by $1 per hour from 1 July2010, the modern award does not require theemployer to pay $2 more than the newminimum wage; they can continue paying thesame amount per hour (which would be $1more than the employee’s minimumentitlement).

This provision applies in conjunction withwell established Court authority concerninghow employers can offset over-awardpayments against other award entitlements.As a general principle, over-award paymentscan only satisfy entitlements to which thepayment is directed.

This means, for example, that paying ahigher wage rate than the award minimumdoes not offset penalties or loadings in theaward unless it is clear that the partiesintended to do so (and in fact, the amountsatisfies the entitlements that wouldotherwise be payable to the employee).

If an employer has properly entered intoan offsetting arrangement that makes it clearthat over-award payments are in satisfactionof all penalties, wages etc due under theaward, that arrangement can continue to berelied upon to satisfy increases that arise as aresult of the commencement of modernawards. In addition, employers can agreewith their employees to enter into such anarrangement with respect to future payments.

Paid Parental LeaveFrom 1 January 2011, the mother of a

new born child, or the primary care giver of anewly adopted child will be provided withpaid leave for a maximum of 18 weeks at theminimum wage of $569.90 per week.

EligibilityTo be eligible for the leave the employee

must:• Be the primary care giver of a new born

child, or newly adopted child;• Have an income of not more than

$150,000 per annum;• Have worked at least 330 hours in the

preceding 392 days (13 months) withpermissible breaks. Many part-time andcasual employees will satisfy this worktest; and

• Be an Australian Citizen or permanentresident.

Eligibility will be assessed by the FamilyAssistance Office (a Government agency)upon receiving an application direct from anemployee seeking paid parental leave.

An employee may also satisfy the worktest if they have had multiple employers, orworked as an independent contractor overthe qualifying period, however, in suchcircumstances payment would be receivedfrom the Family Assistance Office direct, notany employer.

Paid parental leave and other paid leaveAn employee’s entitlement to 18 weeks

paid parental leave under this legislation is inaddition to any other entitlement to paidparental leave that may exist in anemployment contract or an enterpriseagreement and other statutory entitlements toleave.

Payments from the Family AssistanceOffice

The Family Assistance Office will assessthe application and, if approved, it will notifythe employer that they are required to makethe payments.

Employer’s ResponsibilitiesAfter 1 July 2011 an employer who is

notified by the Family Assistance Office thatthey are required to make parental leavepayments will have to pay the parental leavevia normal payroll practices, includingwithholding the usual PAYG tax.

The Family Assistance Office will pay theemployer in advance of the parental leavebeing paid to the employee.

The employer is only obliged to payparental leave if the employee has been withthat employer for at least 12 months.Otherwise, the Family Assistance Office willpay the parental leave directly to theemployee.

From 1 January 2011 to 30 June 2011,will be regarded as a transitional periodduring which time employers can choose toadminister the paid parental leavethemselves, otherwise the Family AssistanceOffice will pay the parental leave direct to theemployee.

After July 2011, time for employers tounderstand their obligations to pay parentalleave will have expired as the transitionalperiod will have passed. From that time theFair Work Ombudsman will have parentalleave payments to add to the lengthy list ofemployer obligations it enforces.

R esearchers have found that the world's strongest insect, relative to body weight, is the male dung beetle, able to liftmore than 1,100 times its weight in dung. Since the beetles mate inside dung patties, their every move is a struggleagainst the resistance posed by the feces.They also found some weaker dung beetles mated just fine, helped not bytheir strength but their unusually large testicles. Either way, it all sounds a bit like the life of the average security

manager. Police in Edinburgh, Scotland, issued two men disorderly-conduct citations, after witnesses reported that theinebriated pair had placed their genitals on a supermarket’s vegetable weighing scale.They were acquitted, however, after theonly witness admitted that she only saw the men zipping up after claiming to have weighed themselves. Pennsylvania policecharged a 55-year-old man with public drunkenness, after neighbors spotted him giving — as he later described it — mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a road-kill possum. A 62-year-old Michigan man suffered second-degree burns after launching himselfon a makeshift, rocket-powered sled.Witnesses say he put on a helmet, strapped a contraption consisting of a motorcyclemuffler, a pipe, gunpowder, match heads, and gasoline on his back, and had someone light the wick. Alcohol may have beeninvolved. Lucky he didn’t send a New Jersey burglar to get his painkillers, who was arrested having made off with packets ofOxybutynin. Police figure he may have been after Oxycontin.The difference? The latter is a powerful pain killer, his haul treatsoveractive bladders. Mind you, a 43-year-old Virginia man might have found that helpful, after he was caught straight away forrobbing a mini-mart, because he had to stop in a nearby ally to relieve himself. A 51-year-old Florida woman who walked into aBank of America branch, handed over a robbery note, and walked out with money, was quickly identified and arrested. She said:“There was no plan, no nothing, just impulse. I think everyone should have a list of things they want to do before they die.”Wonder if that was what on the mind of a 39-year-old San Diego man who he died when he crashed his motorcycle whilefleeing from sheriff's deputies after allegedly stealing a pack of cigarettes from a mini-mart? Three middle-aged Detroit menwere also killed going the wrong way on a freeway after stealing $US45 worth of beauty products from a convenience store.This time, however, police said they were not chasing them but that men were merely in a hurry to get away. Police in St. Louis,Missouri, were called to a man roaming the halls of an upscale office block with a gun. On arrival, officers found workers hidingunder desks and in closets, while others had fled the building. Investigations revealed that two lawyers were, once again, playinga game in the hallways, stalking each other with BB guns and occasionally firing. None of the occupants knew it was a game,apart from one, because she had been shot in the finger and shoulder after walking into a previous battle. Police filed guncharges, and one senior officer said the men would be “tried as adults”, despite their juvenile behaviour. A 41-year-old Michiganwoman suffering an increasingly painful shoulder injury was repeatedly turned away from emergency rooms, because hercondition was not life threatening. Finally, she took a gun and shot herself in the shoulder, hoping for ER treatment. Havingmissed major arteries and bones, she was patched up and again sent home. Except, of course, this time in even more pain. A33-year-old British actor who had, among other things,“water-boarded” his girlfriend by pulling her shirt over her head and heldher under a shower during a two-hour rampage, was acquitted of domestic assault, not because water-boarding isn’t torture — itis, it is — but because the actor convinced the judge that an anti-smoking drug made him unable to control himself, or even toremember the events of that evening. So, water-boarding is okay, but not, apparently the use of the Mosquito device, whichemits an irritating, pulsating, very-high-pitched noise, marketed to shopkeepers to drive away loitering children and teenagers,since the pitch is audible to them but rarely to anyone older than their mid-20s (audio range contracts with age). The Council ofEurope, which oversees the European Court of Human Rights, declared the Mosquito a “human rights violation” in that thesounds it emits constitutes “torture”.Whereas kids and their racket are just really, really annoying, right? Check out theJuly/August issue of The Atlantic, where Daniel Byman and Christine Fair, present evidence that jihadists blow themselves up bymistake, botch airline shoe- and underwear-bombing, buy the wrong fertilizer for urban car bombs, brag too much, and watch fartoo much Internet pornography. (Is that really possible?) The authors conclude, that there has not been a truly competent jihadistterrorist since Mohammad Atta led the September 11, 2001, missions, and suggest that the US and its allies treat jihadists as“nitwits”, rather than as “savvy and sophisticated killers” (the latter being an attractive recruiting image). Kind of hard, though, todrum up big budgets on that basis, isn’t it? We could say more and probably will do so next issue…
