Commonwealth and state regulators ran a coordinated operation across horticulture farms and labour hire businesses in the Nambucca Valley and Coffs Harbour regions of NSW. They checked compliance with workplace, tax, migration and safety laws and looked for phoenixing.
Why it matters: Mainly affects horticulture, not trades directly. Builders, electricians and plumbers using labour hire or subcontractors may see similar multi-agency checks on pay, tax, visa and safety compliance.

The Australian Energy Market Commission has opened consultation on a proposed change to how manually read smart meters are installed in locations without telecommunications coverage. The aim is a more streamlined process.

WA passes new payment protection laws for subcontractors
Western Australia's Parliament has passed new payment protection laws for subcontractors. The changes, made through an amendment to the Building and Construction Industry (Security of Payment) legislation, aim to give subcontractors stronger protection against insolvency.
Why it matters: Subcontractors in WA, including plumbers, electricians, carpenters and other trades, get stronger protection if a head contractor becomes insolvent. This could reduce the risk of unpaid work and cash flow problems.
