Like Senator Coghlan, I understand the purpose of section 10 which provides that an employer may renew a fixed-term only once after three years of continuous service. As he correctly pointed out, however, this provision carries an inherent danger. The implication for a person who has had, for example, three successive contracts of one year's duration is that he or she may only get one further contract of probably one year's duration, but possibly longer. Obviously, the intention of the Bill is that such persons should be made permanent, given an explicit contract to that effect and accorded the rights of a full-time employee. However, there is a danger, which is not beyond the bounds of imagination, that some employers will exploit and abuse the status of such people by terminating their employment prematurely.
