The ACT Party says it has killed three birds with one stone as new workplace legislation is passed.
The bill reverses a number of changes in the 2015 Health and Safety at Work Act, and will shift focus to critical risks.
It passed its third reading in Parliament yesterday, despite criticisms from New Zealand First.
Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Brooke Van Velden told Mike Hosking it grows the economy, supports small businesses, and stops wasting money.
However, the legislation will no longer be implemented in November – instead pushed back until April.
Labour is also promising to repeal the legislation, if elected.
