My question is for the Treasurer as Minister for Industrial Relations in the other place. Just last month our Premier made an amazing announcement that our government would guarantee Victorian workers the right to be able to work from home at least some part of the week if they work in a job where it is possible to do so. We know that for so many Victorians, working from home is not a luxury, it is absolutely critical, whether it is juggling work and care requirements or it is a more productive environment. Working from home is not just good for workers, it is good for the workplace and the economy more broadly. Whilst those opposite may feel like this is a weaponisation of working from home, we know that in so many workplaces across Victoria these flexible arrangements are under threat, with many businesses demanding a return to the office, not realising that in the last five years the workplace has changed. Our government not only recognises this change but embraces it, and we are acting to make sure that for all Victorian workers, private or public sector, if they can do their job from home, they can work from home at least a couple of days a week. So my question is this: how will enshrining working-from-home rights benefit workers in my electorate of Laverton?
