Reposted by J…LeppDavid Moscrop @davidmoscrop.com · 21/09/2026I think it's ill-advised and anti-democratic to introduce an omnibus bill, cite a crisis, and rush major changes to labour and environmental law. It's going to provoke aggressive resistance and risks, ironically, slowing down the projects the government is so keen on. It's going to be a huge mess. 36609224
