Federal Housing Minister Clare O’Neil and Liberal Senator Bridget McKenzie have thrown their support behind work from home arrangements, but stopped short of saying it should be legislated.

Nearly two thirds of voters support the right to work from home being protected by law, including the majority of Coalition supporters, according to a new poll from Resolve Strategic.

There is a considerable split between political affiliations, with 74 per cent of Labor voters supporting the proposal, while 51 per cent of Coalition voters agreed with it.

However, a majority of voters in both camps want it.

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan is currently trying to enshrine work from home two days a week for her state.

On Wednesday, Sunrise host Nat Barr was joined by O’Neil and McKenzie for Hot Topics.

“I’m not at all surprised to see those results because work from home has been an absolute game-changer for Australia’s working families,” O’Neil told Barr.

“In my community, there are people I talk to who are saving sometimes two hours or more of travel time every day and that is enabling them to be better workers and commit more to their workplace.

“But also, to do our most important job of all, which is in many instances, is caring for our young children.

O’Neil, however, stopped short of agreeing with the right being enshrined by law.

“With regard to the legislation, what we see at the moment is largely bosses are working this through on a case-by-case basis, but you would be aware the Victorian government is looking at a legislative pathway.

“One thing I want people to understand at home is we get it. We will protect your work from home rights and make sure you have a situation where can continue to get that fantastic flexibility both in your workplace and in your home.”

McKenzie was also in favour of flexible working arrangements.

However, she also stopped short of saying it should be legislated.

“I think flexible working arrangements between workers and their employers is exactly the way we need to go,” McKenzie said.

“Modern times, like Clare was saying, we need to balance caring responsibility.

“If we want to live in the regions, travel into the city to work for a couple of days, work from home arrangements can really assist there when agreed by both the employer and the worker because we still want businesses obviously to stay open.”
