32666 (2025). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety: What evidence, or advice, if any, was provided to the Minister on the gateway test for determining if someone is an employee or a contractor?

Hon Brooke van Velden: I received a briefing with advice on policy options from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, dated 11 July 2024, titled ""Contractors - Options for an exclusion that gives more weight to intent"".
