What a winner.
Wait. Does he think this is a popular idea? Is there a majority of people out there who want worse working conditions???
I don’t understand
It’s not aimed at people like you or me, but at the corporate class and their media backers. The idea being, get them on board, and they’ll run a propaganda campaign for you.
Not that they need to really, as Murdoch will almost always side with the conservatives.
Not even them, it’s for all the tradies out there who are worried that they mightn’t be able to call their workers in for a bit of extra cash.
Not sure if there is a carve out for that situation, but doesn’t mean he won’t exploit the fear
There could be a carve out, just like our trading laws: make it based on number of employees.
Running a small business that requires less than 5 or 6 people to operate? You can call someone after hours for help if you’re desperate.
Running a major corporate with hundreds on the payroll? GGF.
You get my drift…
I don’t get it either. Why announce it like he’s proud of it as a policy position when he could just push it through if they manage to win a majority? Who sent him out in front of the cameras to talk about it? The only thing I can think of is that maybe he’s being deliberately set up for a spill because he’s so obviously out of touch and un-electable.
Even if the law gets repealed, I still will not answer phone calls and emails from work outside of work. I don’t work from home, nor do I get paid for it, so…
But I also understand that not everyone is in a position to be able to turn this off and I would like the right to disconnect to be codified for them. Did I use codify correctly?
I agree, it should stay in place (as in, not repealed by subsequent government). Employees shouldn’t feel pressured to pick up the phone outside of work.
I always thought not answering the phone was always an unwritten rule of employment unless it’s in your contact, so that’s the way I have always acted.
Codify: “to arrange something, such as laws or rules, into a system”, so I believe that’s correct.
Sounds like the Lib party received a few calls from their donors.
Dutton is one of those people who is clearly so nasty it has seeped out and taken over his physical appearance.
What a goon. I mean the Liberals are the party of evil greedy lying shits anyway but he’s like an exaggerated cartoon mascot for them.
You know, I preferred Mr Potato Head’s work in Toy Story, I don’t know why he ever got in to politics.
Didn’t know Lex Luthor was Australian
I thought Lex Luthor was a genius. Dutton is quite clearly not a genius.
Alright, alright. I wont vote for you then
