(074) Employer gets a ”win” in $120M Non-Compete Case, Labor’s Next IR Move & What Employers Need to Do Now

In this explosive episode of The HR Cartel Podcast, Tim Dive dives deep into a high-stakes restraint of trade case where an ex-employee tried to take $120M worth of tender intel to a direct competitor, and the courts actually stepped in.

📌 Interim restraint orders were granted—three months after the employee had already jumped ship, proving that restraint clauses can work… when they’re written properly.

But just as courts begin backing employers, the current government is moving to wipe out restraint clauses for 90% of Australian workers.

So what now?

Tim unpacks:

• The case details and why this win matters for employers

• The IR changes coming if Labor retains power

• The contract clauses you must update NOW before laws change

• How to shield your business before the protections disappear

If you have sales, BD, or leadership staff—and your business relies on client relationships—you need to hear this.
