Draft Productivity Commission Report
PATRICK IS COMMITTED TO DELIVERING ON-GOING PRODUCTIVITY ON THE WATERFRONT ON A COMMERCIALLY SUSTAINABLE BASIS
Recommendation
Comment
QUBE
IR issues relating to industrial action, bargaining practices and
restrictive EAs should be addressed. In particular, provisions in
EAs which impose excessive constraints on merit-based hiring
and promotion, casual/flexible workers, innovation and 'order of
pick' should be prohibited
Patrick has effectively addressed a number of these issues through its recent EA
negotiations but any further legislative improvements should support further productivity
improvements.
Terminal access charges (TAC) and other fixed fees should be
regulated so they can only be charged to shipping lines, not to
transport operators.
The draft recommendation if actioned will not impact Patrick financially but may have some
adverse impact on the CTO operation
The National Voluntary Guidelines (NVG) developed by the National Transport Commission
(NTC) provides a framework that balances both the quayside and landside productivity
initiatives
• The Federal and State transport and infrastructure Ministers only endorsed the NVG
framework in March 2022
• ACCC supports the current status on landside fees and the NVG framework and has a
monitoring role
