I thus approve the amendment to the organisation’s name from the Finance Sector Union of Australia, Bank Employees Section Queensland Branch, Industrial Union of Employees to the Finance Sector Union of Australia, Queensland Branch, Industrial Union Employees. The approval shall take effect as and from today’s date pursuant to s. 475 of the Act.” By the Commission, [L.S.] E. EWALD, Industrial Registrar. Released: 22 December 1999 Appearances:– Mr S.
