This bill amends the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 so that the healthy homes standards must include requirements for landlords to provide, where practicable, insulated curtains, insulated blinds, or equivalents.

This bill seeks to ensure that employees employed by one employer but working under the control or direction of another business or organisation are not deprived of the right to coverage of a collective agreement covering the work being performed for that other business or organisation.

This bill will prohibit the use of restraints of trade in employment agreements for lower and middle income employees. It will also require employers of higher income employees to carefully consider whether a restraint of trade is appropriate in relation to those employees and, if they insist on a restraint of trade, to compensate the employees for it.
