    “Reasonable” out of hours contact is still allowed?
    Quote news:

    Under new laws, workers will have the right to ignore calls and emails from their boss after hours without fearing punishment.

    The laws, which will come into effect in six months, contain no general prohibition on employers contacting staff after hours, but employees can take their boss to the Fair Work Commission and seek orders to stop them from forcing them to respond to after-hours communications.
    If employers breach the orders they could be fined up to $18,000.
