flag Australia's new industrial relations laws, set for August 26, may increase agricultural input and food freight costs by 10%.

flag Veteran economist and business journalist Robert Gottliebsen warns that new industrial relations laws in Australia, scheduled for August 26, may cause a 10% increase in agricultural input and food freight costs. flag The laws, part of the federal government's amendments to the Fair Work Act, include new contractor-employee definitions, casual employment changes, and rights for employees to disconnect from work outside regular hours. flag These changes could hurt smaller family-owned trucking businesses and favor larger corporate-scale operators, potentially leading to higher costs for farmers and consumers.
