Dependent Pass holder working remotely in Singapore.

Hey, trying to find some specifics on the rules around a Dependent Pass holder working remotely in Singapore. Have read through a lot of the detail on here though still a bit unsure on our scenario.
Context is I'll be shifting from Australia to Singapore with my work and be put on an Employment Pass, with my wife getting a Dependent Pass. She runs her own digital sole trader in Aus and understand the new laws this year mean she could not work in Singapore under a DP, but not absolutely clear if she could carry on running her business in Australia whilst living remotely in Singapore.
She would remain a tax resident in Australia and have no commercial interest in Singapore, purely working with business back home from her laptop in our condo. Does anyone have any experience around this being a black and white no, or potentially a grey area which we could entertain doing?
