From www.theguardian.com: The Albanese government plans to ban non-compete clauses for most employees, affecting workers in various industries, including hairdressers and construction workers, to enhance job mobility.

Critics from business groups argue the ban is excessive and could harm enterprises, while supporters believe it will empower workers and promote competition by preventing exploitation through restrictive contracts.

The reforms are set to take effect in 2027 for workers earning below the high-income threshold of $175,000.
