Employment Rights BillContribution
Amendment 287, to establish an independent freelance commissioner, is an especially welcome proposal. Freelancers face structural challenges, lack of representation, inconsistent income and the precarious nature of their profession. This office would provide a focused, authoritative voice to represent and advocate for them within government. Importantly, this role is not merely reactive but also data-driven and forward looking, with the ability to anticipate issues and recommend solutions.
