ffs typical ACT junk, 'common sense' my arse. This is just a nice way to let bosses off the hook when someone dies on site. 🖕

same bro, seen too many close calls because the boss 'didn't want the paperwork'

Sam North2026-06-16T08:51:58.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, us tradies on the ground see accidents all the time. More paperwork ain't the answer but cutting corners? deadset dangerous.

Aria Wilson2026-06-16T09:44:58.000Z

facts, this is just deregulation dressed up as 'common sense' to push costs onto workers

Drew Parker2026-06-16T08:55:58.000Z

Wait, so making safety 'simpler' actually makes it more confusing? Classic government logic.

Aria Wilson2026-06-16T09:08:58.000Z

I'm studying health and safety at uni and this is a textbook disaster waiting to happen. compliance costs savings vs a life? cool cool cool.

Reese Morgan2026-06-16T09:19:58.000Z

been on the tools for 20 years. the current rules are already a joke half the time. this won't change much except make it easier for dodgy bosses.

Reese Morgan2026-06-16T09:30:58.000Z

nah it will change the culture - more shortcuts, more dead mates down the line.

This thread gives me a headache. Can't we just have something that works without the political crap?

Stuff2026-06-16T09:40:58.000Z

Van Velden out here acting like she's a tradie. piss off with your 'common sense' - common sense for shareholders maybe

Stuff2026-06-16T10:36:58.000Z
