The greens leader has come out saying that we are working far too hard and should be looking at 4 day, 24 hr week (4 x 6hr days), for the same money of cause.

What a toss this guy is. Talk about politicians being out of touch.

There is another so called expert suggesting men should only work between 18 to 22 hrs per week. What, so we can sit on the couch and get fatter?

Where do these people come up with this rubbish?

He can be a fool because when the sh-t hit the fan and we as taxpayers have to pay he still gets his indexed for life pension.

The pensions will have to be cut as well as other things, but not for look after them self first politicians.

I guess the author has not considered why a work week of 4 days at 6 hours a day is beneficial to society.

Bringing up children would benefit from both parents not being exhausted by work.

Governments are pushing for productivity increases.

This means each worker does more per work day, or that more things are produced per work day. This is happening more and more by using robots, and reducing workforce.

Not enough jobs for those seeking work, and the number of jobs will keep reducing.

So, reducing amount of work per individual creates more total jobs.

Salary is a complex area. We need to reduce cost of living substantially. This can be done, but many considerations. Rehctub could think thru how this can happen - target of 10 ways his cost of living could be reduced.

Tony153 - None of what you say can be achieved if for the less hours employers have to pay the same salary as they would for more hours.

many of the Greens have known nothing but to suck on the public purse all their lives. Now they want to suck harder and have others pay. To think that 7% of the population votes for these people indicates clearly why are kids are failing at school.
