Things that sh*t me the sixteenth

[Over The Post]

Yes Over The Post you'll have to be a bit more specific, like Frumpy has pointed out there's a lot to sort through.

Things that Please Me thread in particular.

Meh, and make other businesses millions of dollars - country victoria for instance will get an influx of people for a 4 day long weekend - plenty of money in their coffers.

If i wasnt already on holidays i would be taking the 4 days and going to the murray. A lot of my mates now going away now when they hadnt planned on it for just a 3 day weekend.

For many small businesses paying penalty rates outweighs what sales they may make. So they'll just have to shut.

I mean I get it, Labor doesn't give a * about small business so at least they are being consistent.

Tough enough running one though without taking another financial hit because some old bint that nobody knew carked it.

Whose protocol?

i see today they want world leaders to fly commercial but Albo has flown on a private jet......is that protocol?

I've no idea but these rules predate Albo by decades.

rules can be changed easily enough - they pick and choose which ones - 15 days off for politicians was never going to be changed

Next time there's a referendum you'll know how to vote then if you want to rid yourself of this sort of thing.

It's protocol so unless you think the Queen died to spite you it's just the cost of life in a Constitutional Monarchy.

Nobody cares about protocols.

People care about small businesses going under though.

Well except if you're Politicians because those parasites always get paid.

15 days paid to not sit in parliament

15 days paid to not sit in parliament

How more Politicians don't get punched in head by the public is rather surprising.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Don’t think we’re gonna get a day off over here. Ah well. Got a new public holiday on the 30th anyway.

 

[Engimal v3]

I'm already doing a shitload of unpaid overtime, this holiday will just be another day of it.

but they can shut
if its cheaper for them to not open that's what they will do
then its the staff that get shafted

if they can stay open then they will

It's probably cheaper than Qantas at the moment.

Thats my point.

******* wealthy Political makes decision to screw over small business.

Employees are an integral part of small business.

I mean I did not once see you talk about workers missing out

the only reference to workers was you slagging penalty rates

If they survived covid lockdowns,one day isn't going to kill them.

Penalty rates for a regular Thursday.

Nothing wrong with them for the days they are assigned too.

This made up public holiday isn't one of those days.

If the Government came out and said they'd foot the bill then fine.

But they didn't. All the financial loss has to be footed by the public owners and workers.

Aren't you one of those libertarians who doesn't think the government should pay for anything?

Even better, get the royal family to foot the bill.

The Government aren't paying for s**t. Call it a tax refund due to them forcing a stupid idea onto everyone.

One might get told to jam that request up ones arse

 

[kickazz]

To be fair I think the libertarian stance on this is more one of let me run my business, and if you are going to interfere I want compensation.

I think it's a fair point. I guess it is a rare enough occasion that we can't go getting too upset about it but if I ran a fish and chip shop I wouldn't be thrilled about the last minute holiday.

But it is was until some campaigner politician changed it.

 

[Mofra]

Link Market Services sending me a physical letter to tell me that I've elected to receive all of my notifications via email.

You idiots.

that's how public holidays work though Bosto
