Guest speakers Aaron Allegretto (YWAS), Joe Barnewall (Commerce Qld), young workers, Joanna Walker and Angela Ormiston, Andrew Dettmer (AMWU) and Brad Hayes (QIEU) with Geoff.

Geoff is very concerned about the impact of new workplace laws on young workers.  Young workers are at “great risk” of being treated unfairly by unscrupulous employers following the introduction of new workplace laws by the federal government.

Geoff chaired a public forum on the topic on 4 April 2006. 

Speakers included Aaron Allegretto from the Young Workers Advisory Service and young worker Joanna Walker.  Click here for a full copy of Aaron’s speech, here for Joanna's speech, and here for Angela's speech.
