Employees who work from home to look after a sick child or to juggle family commitments is fairly common practice but that could be about to change.

 

Luke Grant is joined by Kelly Brown, the Founder and Director of Recovery Partners which is a leading workplace safety organisation.

 

Mrs Brown says "A recent risk assessment has highlighted it may not be safe to allow parents to work from home when they are the primary carer of a small child.”

 

"The Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW) requires employers must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the health and safety of other people is not put at risk from or while work is being carried out,” said Mrs Brown. 

 

"When assessing risk, we look at everything that could go wrong and when there is a small child at home, they need to be closely supervised by their parent as our concern is something may happen to the child while a parent is working. This may be breaching the employer’s duty of care."

 

“The home is seen as extension of the workplace when staff commit to working from there rather than heading into the office, with the onus then falling on to the employer to ensure a safe working environment.”

The Victorian state government, lead by Dan Andrews the ALP premier, has spent $1 million of Victorian tax payers money to fund an advertising campaign aimed at having a crack at the federal government and their expenditure in Victoria.

In essence, it’s a state government campaigning against a federal government.

Luke Grant is joined by Louise Staley MP, Liberal state member for Ripon & Shadow Treasurer who has been part of the referral of four Labor departmental secretaries to IBAC and asks is this an appropriate use of tax pays money?

It’s been more than 1000 days since ‘Medi-scare’ during the last Federal election campaign when the Labor Party said the then government was going to privatise it.

Text messages were sent out on polling day which was a pretty low tactic, but nonetheless it just does prove that Medi-scare was a huge lie for which there was no consequence.

Not to be outdone, yesterday Bill Shorten & Catherine King sent out a press release stating that ‘every patient in every hospital across the country will be better off under Labor's plan to restore to put $2.8 billion in funding that PM Scott Morrison is cutting from public hospital'.

Luke Grant talks to Greg Hunt, Federal Minister for Health to help cut through Labor’s new lies of their ‘Medi-scare’ 2019 heading into the upcoming Federal Election.
