Nah I think the argument here is we can work from home, so if the employer chooses to require us to work elsewhere, they should pay for that travel.

Disclaimer: Live in Aus but this is the first I've heard of this.

I'm in Australia also and have (amoungst other things) worked FiFo on and off for four decades now .. mining & resource companies certainly pay for the flights to and from the work place .. and provide accomadation while there.

I live outside of Perth, if I consult | work for folk in the big smoke I quote charge for time on deck + travel allowance .. if I'm travelling for their benefit it's detracting from time I could otherwise spend on myself or other clients.
