"It doesn't apply to all conditions."
Ms Burrow said the test would not address paid maternity leave and excludes 2.5 million workers employed under state awards.

LOL.  Do you actually know anything about the legislation or just post articles that agree with your point of view?
The previous no disadvantage test didn't address Mat leave or anything else specifically.
The previous no disadvantage test was a holistic test, not a line by line examination, that said if the overall terms and conditions of an AWA were less than the overall T's and C's provided by the Award, then it wouldn't be accepted by the OEA. There were no protected conditions such as overtime (which there is now).
The only part I'll agree with is that if their is no one applying the no disadvantage test other than the high court, then that's an issue but I'll check that and get back to you.
