> Queensland’s Liberal National party has proposed controversial workplace-law changes that would let Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie break public-sector strikes in certain circumstances, including when deemed to be in the public interest. The plan would also tighten access to compensation for psychological injuries. Unions and the opposition condemned the proposals, while several business groups welcomed them.
