@BernardKeane @CamSalton No one is saying they should be abolished. The argument is about excessive rates of 2.5 and 2.75 on certain days.

@GreenwoodBen@CamSalton and whether it's abolish or reduce, it's unsupported by evidence either way -
@BernardKeane@CamSalton Not true, I have first-hand experience of this. We need an intelligent discussion about appropriate penalty rates. -
@GreenwoodBen@CamSalton well produce some evidence they're hurting anyone. Cafes and restaurants going gangbusters at the moment. -
@BernardKeane@CamSalton I used to be asst mgr at a retailer, each public holiday we'd have to put on one less staff member both day/night -
@BernardKeane@CamSalton Another; our local fish n chip shop is closed over the whole Easter period for the first time. -
@GreenwoodBen@CamSalton so... All you've got is personal anecdotes - got any actual data?
