Yeah I agree completely.. I do admit that small retailers really get stung by public holidays.. So they do need to keep them in check.. Going back a while I would have loved it if the government scrapped stupid penalty rates for hospitality on weekends.. Big believer that you get a job that keeps odd hours or works weekends.. That's just an expectation of that job.. As a baker we used to get 20% loading for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am (which was most of them). In hindsight that's just bloody ridiculous because I was a freaking baker. It's not a 8-5 mon-fri job..
