From Jan 1, 2025, intentional wage theft will be a federal crime in Australia, with penalties of up to $7.8m for companies and 10 years' jail for individuals. But a code covering small business has not yet been made public.

The code also needs to be declared for the new laws to come into effect.

And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around”

At least she knows what a CD is 🤷🏻‍♀️
Also, my Bluesky feed seems so far to be mostly pictures of sunsets, beaches and space. I quite like it.
