Liberals pushed major labour bills with limited debate
In Victoria the Liberal government moves three key labour bills the Labour Code, Employment Standards Act, and Workers' Compensation Board reforms with little time for detailed legislative scrutiny. Critics say the pace limits questions on impacts, safeguards, and unintended effects, echoing past protests over Nisga'a treaty debates. Premier Gordon Campbell had condemned such moves, arguing for thorough scrutiny.
