If all is predicted to come true these tax laws will be implemented if no additional adjustments are implemented during negotiations in congress to vote and pass to president to sign into law! The thing I am concerned about is fixing social security issues that needs restructuring before it causes more issues in the future! Either way if control of all parts of government is held by republicans it is only 2 years and if nothing is done with them having control over everything then that is political suicidal in logical thinking! Republicans have to get united and maintain a united agenda to remain in power! Your thoughts? https://lnkd.in/gKDR_P_m

With the Government's drive to achieve certainty for independent contractors, an important document to reflect upon is the Commerce Commission's 12 September 2024 response to the Petition of Fired Up Stilettos: Strippers' Rights are Workers' Rights. It considers the role of the Commerce Commission in investigating whether some of the provisions in their independent contractor agreements were unfair contract terms in breach of the Fair Trading Act 1986. The Commerce Commission states: ... Ultimately the Commission made the decision not to undertake an investigation for prioritisation reasons. 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 As we receive approximately 13,000 complaints a year, we are required to make prioritisation decisions, based on our current operational priorities and capacity, and our views on whether the complaint is an appropriate use of the regulatory tools at our disposal.  We could readily understand the harm alleged by the workers concerned and our decision in no way seeks to minimise this. However, in considering whether to proceed with an investigation, there were other factors that weighed against taking further steps under the UCT provisions designed to protect small businesses. ... When deciding which UCT cases to prioritise, we are also mindful of the reach of the standard form contracts at issue. All things being equal, we are more likely to prioritise cases where there are many businesses affected rather than a few; where the terms are common across a wider industry rather than a smaller industry; or where terms may be common across multiple industries, so that the educative benefit and precedent effect of our actions can be maximised. As the complaint related to a sector in a comparatively small industry, with uncommon “standard” terms, prioritising the complaint would have resulted in de-prioritising other UCT investigations underway where our ability to act was more certain, and where we could achieve wider impact.
