which last month negotiated changes to Labor’s Secure Jobs, Better Pay bill in return for its support
Bandt said Australians were under increasing pressure to balance work and their caring responsibilities, “but also their life generally”. Sheldon said during a press conference last month that the right to disconnect “should be part of the mix in the conversation” for legislation to come forward next year.The Senate’s work and care committee, chaired by the Greens’ Barbara Pocock and including Labor’s Deborah O’Neill, Jana Stewart and Linda White, recommended in October the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations investigate ways to insert a right to disconnect into the Fair Work Act.
“There’s been some welcome movement at the bargaining level from people who have managed to negotiate a right to disconnect into their agreements. We want to see it become a national standard and enshrined in law so that everyone has the right ... to switch off when they finish work,” he said. Bandt said the Greens also wanted to outlaw insecure work, saying there should be a presumption all work was ongoing to counter the insecurity faced by casuals.
Finally a sensible position from the greens on proper issues.

Greens push for voting age to be lowered to 16The NSW Greens have put forward legislation that would see 16- and 17-year-olds gain the right to vote in the state. I mean if retirees get to vote on behalf of young families, even though their views aren't compatible with our society, it only makes sense to give 16yr olds the same powers 🤣🤣🤣 So do singles get 2 votes?

Greens push for voting age to be lowered to 16YOUR SAY: Should under-18s be allowed to vote? The NSW Greens are proposing legislation that would allow residents as young as 16 to be granted the right to vote in state elections. 9News MORE: indeed we should hope this passes.

However more people are likely to be responsible at 18 than 16! Oh how rediculous, no

Greens dealing with a ‘big policy split’ in push to lower legal voting ageAssistant Minister to the Prime Minister Patrick Gorman says the Greens have a “big policy split” in their “very small group” regarding the push to lower the legal voting age to 16. He said there is a split between party members over whether there should be voluntary or compulsory voting at 16 years old. “They do owe us an explanation as to where they stand on their own policy position,” Mr Gorman told Sky News Australia. Maybe if the age is lowered, the Greens might propose you can eat magic mushies at recess with their roll-ups and tiny teddies and all the high school children will get them into government. If you're old enough to pay taxes there's no good reason why you shouldn't be allowed to have a say in how those taxes are spent The crazy party
