The federal government’s Secure Jobs, Better Pay Bill was recently passed by parliament with the Greens’ support. The government will pursue further industrial relations reforms in 2023, and Greens leader Adam Bandt says his party will push for this to include a legislated "right to disconnect" from work outside of an employee’s official working hours. He notes that many employers now expect their workers to respond to emails and telephone calls at all times. Workers in several European countries already have a right to disconnect. The Greens will also push for casual workers to have greater input into the scheduling of their work hours.
