Anyone but an absolute imbecile can plan their groceries a few days in advance.

So you're not concerned if the Labor voters have a Christmas dinner or miss out?

If their fearless leader is any indication, they`d benefit from the loss of a few stone off their flabby bottoms.

Yes pear shaped, very much like the economy.

The penalty rates are very fair. Why should they not be able to have penalty rates?.

Why would you if people are willing to work without them.
In today's modern world the old 9-5 attitude is a dinosaur and no longer relevant.
Besides, a Christian holiday is paid as a public holiday at normal rates. some people don't observe Christian holidays instead they take days off for normal days at normal rates for their own religious beliefs. Do Christians who work on other religious holidays get penalty rates?
So why would penalty rates be applicable when non-Christians work on Christian holidays?

Working at 2 am is not the same as working at 2pm. Working on Boxing day is not the same as working on Monday the 17th August, working on a Saturday or Sunday is not the same as working on Wednesday or Thursday.

In general people do not want to work these days they are put in positions where they have no choice. The employer says that if you want (need) this job you will be required to work on these days.

The assurance that at least people forced to work these times will be properly paid for the value of their time is a positive.

It is if you are non-christian.

And the time element is also becoming irrelevant.
