New South Wales premier reverses work-from-home policy for public employees, citing a newspaper campaign.

New South Wales premier, Chris Minns, has reversed work-from-home arrangements for public employees in Australia's most populous state, ordering them to work from their offices by default. The move was prompted by a newspaper campaign against remote working habits established during the pandemic. Critics warn that the decision could cause difficulties in filling positions, while business and real estate groups welcome the move to boost office occupancy rates. The directive contradicts other Australian states that continue to support remote work.
