Penalty Shoot-Out
ABOUT The penality rates.
I can remember the hotels clubs shops etc closed on sat and sun; then they put in for extended hours etc now they don't want to pay penality rates.
So why not revoke their licences? I mean, penalty rates should be going up not down so people can work reasonable hours and spend time on recreation and with their families etc if they cant afford penalty rates then open and work normal hours if this rubbish goes ahead what kind of country do we want and how is this going to attract young couples to start families.
This will really do wonders for quality of life and the aging population. I hope every worker in the country really stands togeather on this one so this would never be brought up again
