<div>This is correct - he has stated as much in public Facebook posts.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I encourage people to read that bill and in addition to at least one submission I know is going in complete with 13 and a half thousand signatures on it - every single submission against this absolute innovation killing industry harming insanity
would be useful. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">In summary the way I see this </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">A.) it would result in some of the most experienced people in the industry being forced out of the country to be able to work</div>
<div dir="ltr">B.) there is no proper definition of an ict professional that does not cover everything from the secretary that uses excel to input numbers to the most advanced programmer - the definition in there covers virtually anyone in a modern job</div>
<div dir="ltr">C.) the bill has no provision in it for bringing in external trainers and consultants and hence damages the industry by working against international knowledge sharing</div>
<div dir="ltr">D.) the bill is death to cooperative international innovation</div>
<div dir="ltr">E.) the bill creates serious and deep problems with inter company staff transfers or people in multi-nationals coming in to work on intra-company projects that require external resource</div>
<div dir="ltr">F.) the bill could potentially put a lot of people out of work damaging the overall tax base</div>
<div dir="ltr">G.) there has been zero cited evidence of the need for this bill or the positive impact it would have in the industry - no studies cited - no fact based assertions - nothing but speculation that is in my view a naked attempt at a money grab</div>
<div dir="ltr">H.) the law is entirely impractical as regards enforcement - since in the days of remote work a person affected by this can just leave the country and work remotely and be exempt - while again having negative affect on the taxation base.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Plenty more points which I will get to but that’s a quick summary of the headline points against this absurdity</div>
