Industrial relations is set to be a key federal election issue, after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese indicated on Tuesday that Labor will not back down on the reforms it has implemented. The Coalition in turn has committed to repealing key aspects of the reforms, including multiple-employer bargaining. Meanwhile, Albanese has told the Business Council of Australia’s annual dinner that his government is "proudly pro-business and pro-worker". Albanese used his speech to highlight Labor policies and initiatives that have helped the business sector. However, BCA CEO Bran Black and president Geoff Culbert both criticised Labor’s workplace reforms in their speeches at the event.
