The Workplace Relations and Safety Minister says there's currently too much grey area about what defines a contractor, following the Supreme Court's Uber ruling. 

Four drivers are now legally employees, with the highest court rejecting Uber’s bid for the court to overturn a 2024 Court of Appeal ruling. 

The Government's seeking to clarify the distinction in law. 

Brooke van Velden told Mike Hosking we need clear rules in this increasingly online platform based world. 

She says we're going to see more people with flexible work and multiple agreements, so businesses and contractors need more certainty.
