WA Retailers Gain Power to Ban Disruptive Customers
Update: 2025-12-02
Description
In Western Australia, a new law empowers shop owners to issue barring orders against disruptive customers, following a surge in violence and abuse towards retail workers. Woolworths, a major supermarket chain, has endorsed this change, citing over six hundred and eighty incidents of violence last year. The new legislation, inspired by successful Australian Capital Territory laws, aims to protect staff and customers, with breaches potentially resulting in a five-year prison sentence.
