Australia gives millions of workers 'right to disconnect'

Australia gave millions of workers the legal right to "disconnect" on Monday, allowing them to ignore unreasonable out-of-hours calls, emails and texts from their bosses.
Two Cloudflare-free tor-reachable articles:
① Australia gives millions of workers 'right to disconnect'
② Australia gives workers right to ignore bosses’ after-hours calls, emails
Those links are also popup-free (at least in my config). But note that ② is a little more junked up and has some video (but my image and autoplay blocking config seems to work).
The wording of the new law sounds flimsy.. leaves it to employers to define whether an interruption is “reasonable”. But nonetheless it’s a step in the right direction.
