In short:

The Allan government will introduce new laws aimed at protecting workers in service jobs to parliament today.

Assaulting or threatening to assault workers in retail, hospitality, fast food or transport will carry a five year jail term as a penalty.

What's next?

The bill will be tabled in parliament on Friday, with the government aiming to have the laws in effect by next month.
