The Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal (RSRT) was an independent body established by the Gillard government in 2012 to oversee the road transport industry in Australia.[1] The jurisdiction of the RSRT is set out in the Road Safety Remuneration Act 2012.[2]
The Transport Workers Union of Australia issued a "Safe Rates" campaign in response to reports of a link between rates of pay and road safety.
In the lead-up to the 2013 Australian federal election, Tony Abbott promised to issue a review of the industrial tribunal.[3]
In 2016, a dispute between owner-truck drivers in the road transport industry accelerated calls for the tribunal to be abolished,[4] and the tribunal was abolished on 21 April 2016.[5] [6]
