An upcoming review of Queensland’s industrial relations laws will consider stronger protections for people who have experienced workplace sexual harassment, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced on Monday.
Palaszczuk said the review would include extensive consultation with unions and other stakeholders, and would “dovetail” with the state government’s response to the recommendations of the national [email protected] report.
“Our industrial protections must keep pace with the changing shape of work to ensure everyone gets a fair go. And as recent events have shown, sexual harassment and gender inequity in the workplace is a pressing issue that needs addressing,” she said.
Annastacia Palaszczuk has announced a review of the state’s industrial relations laws, saying every worker should be safe from sexual harassment and bullying.
