Sorry about that mate 
It's not actually about me personally, my penalties are safe until I retire. I just have strong views on workplace rights particularly for young people and people who are renting. Most of our rights have been eroded away over the years by both sides of Govt.
The latest thing to go is redundancies for long serving workers. 12 weeks flat severance pay is the best you can get these days even if you've worked 30 years. Anything higher has to be purchased from your employer which comes off your next pay rise if you're lucky enough to even get one these days...
Penalty rates is about all we have left, but they are also the most sensitive issue, partly because we value our family time but for many it's also due to the exorbitant cost of living in this country.
