      So tell me @ACCIBizVoice if penalty rates are so terrible, why are new cafes & restaurants opening at a rate of knots, according to the ABS?

          @BernardKeane Great to see many cafes opening, but penalty rates hurt capacity to open and give work hours on Sundays and public holidays.

          @pceebee23 @martinrev21 @ACCIBizVoice @BernardKeane I'd say they want to change to the American way.. pay $3 an hour and staff rely on tips.
