Coalition threatens workers' rights to disconnect in Australia

Liberal Senator Jane Hume has confirmed that the Coalition plans to remove workers' rights to disconnect from work. This aligns with their previous policies, which critics argue resemble the controversial WorkChoices framework. Many workers have enjoyed the flexibility of working from home, a practice that became common during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a growing demand for the right to negotiate such arrangements as workplaces evolve. Concerns have been raised about the Coalition's approach to workers' rights, with some comparing it to outdated labor practices. Critics emphasize the need for modern policies that reflect current work-life balance expectations.
