Why is it that you imagine it is a right to work from home, when it was only a short term privilege during a crisis? It is not an 'end' of business to provide a meaningful way of life for employees - they do that on their own time.
What?! Are you a f~cking idiot?
The technology for working remotely was being developed and built over the last 30 years... how do you think it was so achievable for so many so quickly?
Prior to the pandemic, many were already working from home (or anywhere); it was merely democratised by the pandemic, not invented.
Short-term privilege, eh! Like income tax was once a short-term burden... No more short-term, or special, privilege than driving for pleasure was in the 50s.
No - YOU are a smacking idiot.
It doesn't matter that the 'technology' for SOME work from home was developing - it is not and never will be the be-all and end-all - and most jobs require a presence in the office for the simple reasons that people on deck are what is required - not people off in connection-land and not being instantly available.
I know one highly placed lady in Treasury - woman of course these days

been working from home since all she has to do is 'attend a few meetings' and participate in making a few decisions (blah, blah, blah) at some monstrous six figure salary and perks - and all the time - a hundred miles away from Canberra - she's renoing the house and working on the investment portfolio oinstead of working for real.
So your fanciful idea - in reality - means that we need to do a Trump and divest ourselves of those empty hand workers who are often overly duplicated time and again anyway ...
Is this another one of those nutty social science professor ideas being test driven across Australia?
The 'technology' cannot take away the need to be at the coal face in any REAL job, where you are paid to be,.
'democratised' - HTF is it 'democratised' when the MAJORITY of people cannot do it? That makes it a privilege for a few and one really only applicable to jobs that don't actually require much effort.
Didn't you hear? One woman cannot serve two masters! If she's forced to choose between staying home and working - that's the end of it, and the immediate effects on unemployment and the economy and homelessness and housing prices (you really haven't kept up with The Old Master over the years, have you, kid?) would be like a breath of fresh air.
False equivalence and actually backwards - just like your thinking.
Where did you get the idea that taxation was only temporary? Even you must know that 'taxation is the art of removing as many feathers from the goose as possible with the least squawking'.
You young jerks really need to get out more and get your heads out of the internet and all the namby-pamby sh
i
t you are being fed from day one at pre-school.
Contrary to 'encouraging' women for fiffty years - women have been FORCE FED onto every possible thing, from school education on up, in the name of 'creating equality' - now - when they are literally taking over via affirmative action and NOT on merit and ability - your biggest whine is that they might have to endure going back to work in the office.
How DARE You?
Now YOU - boy know-all - which particular group do YOU want to be mandated over 50% of seats in our 'democratic' parliament?
What if we make it the Neo-Nazis instead of the Feminazis? That make you just as happy? What about Muslims? Or - I know - let's make a Third House in our democratic parliament based entirely on the RACE of 3% of the population and call anyone who says NO a racist! Why not just mandate EVERY demographic in the nation to possess - by divine right - a percentage number of seats in our 'democratic' parliament? F
u
ck the voters - who do they think they are?
Maybe we should mandate that MEN must receive AT LEAST 50% of winnable seats.... how would you swallow that one?
Talk about the White Knights talking backwards. You dumb-ass REAL Neo-Nazis are ruining this country and are imagining that every HARM you do is good and right - but I'm not asleep.
You dick-weeds would make excellent gulag guards - you have no idea of reality, morality, reason and equality.
