A call to redefine small business as those with less than 25 staff—as opposed to the current 15—looks set to be another contest for the federal election.

Kevin O'Leary hasn’t held back in explaining his reasons for why the right to disconnect is a bad idea.

Appointing an administrator with wide-ranging powers doesn’t go far enough, according to the Business Council of Australia.

The bill has faced pushback from business groups, which argued the change would add more ‘complexity, conflict, and rigidity’ to the workplaces.

The legislation gives workers the right to ignore calls and messages outside normal shifts.

‘It is an act of economic vandalism,’ business groups say.
