Adam Bandt
Adam first worked as an industrial lawyer, protecting workers from privatisation and big business. He represented some of Australia’s lowest paid workers, including in legal actions against corporate giants like Nike, making them responsible for the wages and conditions of workers in their supply chain.
He also worked with coal workers in the LaTrobe Valley after their power stations were privatised, and fought to make sure their rights were protected. One of Adam’s first acts in Parliament was to introduce a private members bill extending protection for firefighters who contract cancer through their work, which passed into law with unanimous support.
