Victorian business leaders are rallying behind new Premier Ben Carroll to scrap the controversial work-from-home laws, calling them damaging to job growth and business competitiveness. Carroll, signaling a more pro-business stance than his predecessor, hasn’t ruled out reviewing the legislation — which grants employees legal rights to remote work and mandates employer cost coverage — as Victoria grapples with the nation’s highest unemployment rate. While the bill is set to take effect in September, amendments may include carve-outs for small businesses or adjusted cost rules. Carroll also faces pressure to ease payroll taxes and is navigating industrial unrest from hospital doctors and teachers, while recently gaining public favor with a Kmart press conference tackling retail crime.
