Reported at www.sbs.com.au: A Coalition government would mandate that all federal public servants return to the office five days a week, with limited exceptions, arguing that working from home is “unsustainable.”

Labor senator Katy Gallagher criticized this approach as reminiscent of Donald Trump’s policies and detrimental to working women, while Greens senator Barbara Pocock stated it would punish women and carers.

Opposition leader Peter Dutton defends the policy as a commonsense approach essential for productivity.
