Abstract	This paper discusses the impact of pending changes to Commonwealth and State industrial regulatory systems. It argues that the package is a counterrevolutionary reversal of egalitarian and collectivist values institutionally embedded since Australian Federation. The new Workplace Relations System ('WRS') will compound existing trends away from secure employment and regulated collective agreement making enforceable by independent third-party industrial dispute settlement procedures. Australian employment patterns already manifest high degrees of flexibility and growing insecurity around work and career. Perceptions of the need for, and effect of, the WRS changes should have been tempered by an understanding of the relative incidence of the forms of employment, the terms of engagement and the pattern of employment growth across industries in Australia. In pursuit of fair-go and collective representation of values, priority should be given to transposing commercial law principles to contracts for work and services; review of union organisational structures and services to better cope with collective representation in boundary-less workplaces; and the establishment of rights concerning work through statutory and judicial machinery.
