Labor has kicked off a busy legislative week with the passing of the signature Respect@Work bill. The law aims to improve gender equality in the workplace, a year after the sex discrimination commissioner, Kate Jenkins, handed down a report outlining key recommendations to address toxic work cultures.
The other big ticket items the Albanese government is hoping to pass this week are the industrial relations bill, a federal anti-corruption commission and strengthened privacy laws with tough penalties for company data breaches. If you missed the news this morning, the IR bill is set to pass now that independent senator David Pocock has won a few concessions.
