A better job shouldn’t be locked behind a non-compete clause. From next year, we’re banning them for workers earning under $190,100, making it easier for people to move and new firms to grow. #auspol

Or just ban it for everybody like in California - or require you’re paid during the non compete. Half measure

Since 22 the IR mess you've created is insane. All labor has managed to do is jack up costs, kill flexibility, deter investment & crush productivity. Every business owner in the country knows who to vote out in 2028, Labor will probably put most of them out of business by then.

The real “non compete” clause in Australia is Labor’s beloved “no ticket, no work” mandatory Union membership rules, enforced by thuggery at times. If you had courage, you’d call out this practice.

if it's inherently bad (it is) why would you put a salary threshold on it? workers above that pay level are likely the most productive and valuable to a firm. typical australian tall poppy bullshit

Seriously if this is it for your productivity agenda, resign. This is a very minor piece of reform for a serious government. Where is you AI innovation vision for industry? Get on with it or stop stealing from everyday Aussies with all your perks and grift.

Your tobacco tax sure fixed things? Your superannuation tax sure fixed things? Your capital gains tax sure fixed things? Everything labor touches turns to poison.

Unbelievable this is socialism

and making harder for business owners to protect their IP.

😂😂😂😂 NFI Businesses aren’t growing because the ALP has locked us in to a high wage, low productivity mire.

You have zero idea of reality

Skeletor looking mother fucker. Your seat is not safe. All of you clowns are pandering for Albos spot when you backstab him but we hate you all equally. Every last one of you are all part of the same giant blister on this country. It is not a person, it is the ideology.

The advanced world isn’t struggling . Australia wouldn’t be struggling if we had a government and politicians who can see past their self importance and put the country first.

You are just screwing small business owners harder. Why?

Wanker.

Should it not be $190,200?

So we should have every parliamentarian sign a 10 yr non-compete clause, so they don't walk straight out to cushy industry jobs.

Does that mean that you will make it LAW that ANY pollie that leaves the parliament for ANY reason is NEVER allowed a government job in the future. That includes postings, govt work firms and universities?

Nice, another anti-business law

Labors cures are worse than the diseases.

More regulatory burdens on Australians and business owners…we’re fast becoming a nanny state.

Do you have any evidence that supports your claim that banning non compete clauses makes it easier for new firms to grow ? Or are you just spouting Labor ideology

@grok how does this help productivity? And if it does is it significant?

How very performative not to ban them where they’re relevant

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

Why not for everyone?
