Solemn Sloth posted:The FWC even said that many people currently rely on penalty rates just to make ends meet, but who gives a gently caress. Yeah, the working poor are just barely holding on so let's cut their loving wages by a quarter We live in an age where a 5% cost of living increase is literally unheard of, outside of CEOs and politicians, and now almost a million people have had their weekend rates cut by 25%. I have a friend who works retail and he needs weekend rates to pay the bills given how much the company has cut back hours for staff. They now have salaried managers work the registers for half a day before they can do any of their own stuff because they've cut back staff so much. It's insane and I don't know how much longer it can go on before people start just losing their poo poo "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this any more" style.

I think if there's anything the American Experiment teaches us is that people will gladly get pounded up the rear end indefinitely as long as they have someone to look down upon.

I say go all in and make all the Monday to Friday occupations work across weekends. Banks, government departments, the lot. They can have four rostered days off every fortnight that will be on a rolling rota. They may or may not be adjacent days. Who knows, it changes all the time. It would be a hell of a shock to finally understand what shift workers live with.

Retail Manager Jim "So you know how I'm a manager on a salary and I've been coming in Sundays because it's been too expensive to hire kids on Sunday rates, well I was..." Chain Owner Bob "Ah look I'm going to have to stop you there Jim, I've a sea bass that's waiting to be angled and frankly I don't really give a gently caress what you're about to say."

Imagine how hosed we would be if Morrison managed such a crisis. Such a crisis if handled delicately wouldn't reflect badly on Labor, much like the GFC.

If the GDP figure is negative again on March 1st then we're in a recession.

I teach in a regional town. Many, many of my students do part time work after school/on weekends to help support their families, and these are students that have to weigh up the choice between uniform violation punishments or a pair of shoes they actually want to be seen in outside of the campus. BUT gently caress THEM I GUESS

BBJoey posted:here's the thing though: no normal people care about poo poo like this You're right, the average voter sees through media bullshit, can discern facts from fiction, and is capable of determining and following their own self interest. That's why the coalition has never been voted into power.
