(e) if not, why not?
(b) Yes. (c) No. It is my understanding that views referenced in questions (a) and (b) related to NSW IRC having jurisdiction in matter of unfair contracts. The Industrial Relations Act 1979 (WA) does not contain an unfair contracts jurisdiction under which the four NSW Court of Appeal judgements where argued. (d) & (e) It is hard to see how this question is in anyway related to questions (a) to (c) and as such makes no sense.
