Make it easier to make claims against employers and don't reqiure people to pay for a lawyer. AI help is not going away and criminalizing it is nothing more than making sure only rich people get to use AI against others.

Look at how AI can hack other companies and cause harm, but no one gets arrested. One of the reddit founders was forced into suicide over a bogus conviction over distilling jstor and now every AI when wielded by a tech company gets to do the same thing without their CEOs going to jail for 20 years.

Stop supporting things that give all the power to a handful of CEOs.

It’s already easy to commence a claim against an employer in the FWC.

The system is specifically designed for self represented litigants to be able to navigate the process and get a just outcome without being ruined by legal costs if they lose. It generally works well.

That’s not the same thing as allowing frivolous and vexatious claims to get up, as the applicant attempted here.
