@BernardKeane Most fish shops at Brisbane beaches closed New Years Day because owners wont pay #penaltyrates. Wrecked picnics. Reform needed

@EVERALDATLARGE more anecdotes. hard evidence shows retail food in rude health. -
@BernardKeane My Dad worked as labourer 1920/1965. Never paid#PenaltyRate. Grateful to have a job. Never ever went on strike. Voted#ALP -
@EVERALDATLARGE Good for him. So what? -
@BernardKeane 'So What' is my Dad never dreamed of#PenaltyRates. To feed family he worked whatever hours were needed. Never ran up debts -
@EVERALDATLARGE & what happens when you cut wages (which is what cutting penalty rates does)? look around. lower growth, lower tax revenue. -
@BernardKeane Little justification for#PenaltyRates. No case for exorbitant#ExecutiveSalaries. Prefer fair days work for fair days pay -
@EVERALDATLARGE@BernardKeane I doubt the mother of 3 waitressing on Christmas Day would agree there's little justification for penalties.

@NoelWhittaker thanks for your anecdotes, Wiz. Attacked anyone for RTing people you don't like yet today? -
@BernardKeane penalty rates mean no work for the kids who need the money -
@NoelWhittaker yep that'd be why employment in the industry is now at a record high. -
@BernardKeane didn't look like it at Noosa over the holidays. Many shops shut -

@NoelWhittaker I keep citing evidence, you keep citing anecdotes. Hope your financial advice is based on stronger stuff Wiz - 1 more reply
