The government of New South Wales (NSW) in Australia has unveiled plans to introduce a new bill in Parliament aimed at imposing stricter penalties on individuals who assault retail workers. The proposed legislation is a response to the increasing number of incidents involving violence and abuse towards retail staff.
The bill aims to provide better protection to workers in the retail sector by deterring potential offenders and ensuring that those who commit such offenses face appropriate consequences. The government’s move is part of a broader effort to create a safer working environment for retail employees and ensure their well-being.
The new bill will be carefully considered by Parliament, and its implementation is expected to enhance the safety and security of retail workers in NSW.
