No wonder the other States take the piss out of us.
I understand why we still have them but it’s time for change, surely!
personally, i completely disagree.
people only have a certain amount of money to spend. shops being open longer isnt magically going to give everyone more disposable income.
it would start with allowing longer trading, then the push would come for getting rid of weekend and sunday loadings for the staff working those days, and it would end with retail workers being basically slaves. no breaks, no benefits, only hours upon hours of retail hell.
i may be biased from my years working retail
Serious question: a person goes to Uni during the week and works weekends at a pub or shop
Do they get Saturday, Sunday & Public Holiday loading?
Yes

What makes a kid on Sunday who works 5 hours more important than the people who work 9-5 during the week. Ridiculous
We are a 7 day a week working society now.

"we" most certainly are not.
my work is currently trying to bring in saturday openings. i certainly wont be doing any weekends, regardless of how they try to spin it. spending time with the wife and kids is way more important to me than my job.

I doubt any government would have the balls to do it. Would make tyem popular with business but unpopular with many workers.

You should, you'd have plenty of free time to buy your meat.

I’m with you here as I’m not working weekends either but there are others who would be willing here to work as that suits their family environment.
Plus it will create extra jobs if needed(at a cost I know).
