Coalition issues restrained report on Fair Work Bill; Labor flags only technical amendments

Coalition senators on the Fair Work Bill inquiry have acknowledged the Government's mandate for IR change and confined their criticism of the legislation to where they maintain it is flawed, unfair, or beyond Forward with Fairness, in a restrained dissenting report. The Labor senators, meanwhile, have recommended only technical amendments to the bill, while the Greens have argued for more substantial change.
