"Aims and objectives The HR Nicholls society supports the abolition of awards, supports the abolition of the minimum wage, supports the abolition of the independent umpire, the Industrial Relations Commission.
The Society believes strongly in the deregulation of the Australian Industrial Relations System, including the abolition of the award system, the widespread use of individual employment contracts and the lowering of minimum wages. The Society only believes in limited labour market regulation, as excessive minimum wages [5] and job security lead to higher unemployment and lower productivity. Since its inception, the Society has firmly advocated urgent reform of the labour market in order to ensure Australia's international competitiveness and prosperity. On its website, the Society lists its aims and objectives:
To promote discussion about the operation of industrial relations in Australia including the system of determining wages and other conditions of employment. To promote the rule of law with respect to employers and employee organisations alike. To promote reform of the current wage-fixing system. To support the necessity for labour relations to be conducted in such a way as to promote economic development in Australia."
