#### 20 Matters the Tribunal must have regard to
(1) In deciding whether to make a road safety remuneration order, the Tribunal must have regard to the following matters:
(a) the need to apply fair, reasonable and enforceable standards in the road transport industry to ensure the safety and fair treatment of road transport drivers;
(b) the likely impact of any order on the viability of businesses in the road transport industry;
(c) the special circumstances of areas that are particularly reliant on the road transport industry, such as rural, regional and other isolated areas;
(d) the likely impact of any order on the national economy and on the movement of freight across the nation;
(e) orders and determinations made by an Expert Panel of the Fair Work Commission in annual wage reviews and the reasons for those orders and determinations;
(f) any modern awards relevant to the road transport industry (see subsection (2)) and the reasons for those awards;
(g) the need to avoid unnecessary overlap with the Fair Work Act 2009 and any other laws prescribed for the purposes of this paragraph;
(h) the need to reduce complexity and for any order to be simple and easy to understand;
(i) the need to minimise the compliance burden on the road transport industry;
(j) any other matter prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this paragraph.
(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(f), each of the awards referred to in the definition of road transport industry (including an award referred to in regulations made for the purposes of paragraph (e) of the definition) is taken to be relevant to the road transport industry.
