flag South Australia enacts Workplace Protection Orders to ban repeat offenders from retail sites for up to 12 months, targeting violence and harassment.

flag South Australia has introduced new Workplace Protection Orders to shield workers, especially in retail, from violent or intimidating behavior by allowing courts to ban repeat offenders from premises for up to 12 months. flag The law, modeled on domestic violence orders, covers physical, verbal, and sexual abuse, threats, and harassment, with breaches punishable by up to five years in jail. flag Backed by unions and retailers, it aims to address the high rate of retail crimes—where one serious incident occurs every five minutes nationwide—and follows successful measures like 'Operation Measure' that target habitual offenders. flag Advocates urge other states to adopt similar laws and technologies like facial recognition to enhance worker safety.
