Whilst the Attorney-General has more recently hinted at that timeframe being extended, in expectation that the changes will be tabled in Parliament in the coming months, Melissa Fai, Dal Lim and Isabelle Hanna highlight the key areas of change and what businesses should be considering to stay ahead. https://lnkd.in/gD6p4mbV
