Hopefully we will soon go back to manufacturing in Australia, to be self-sufficient again as we should. This will also provide many Sunday-less jobs for those who want.

"Should Sunday be a day of rest"?

Where to begin!
I find trying to place this question, a little perplexing.
I suppose my take on it is that it should be for those who need it to be.
Otherwise it's just Sunday, just another of the seven days in a week.
The idea of "free market" is one I can applaud, BUT, with so many restrictions and caveats placed on businesses who open on a Sunday, it is not economical to do so.
I strongly believe in working as much as possible, sure it can get monotonous, but if that happens it means you're in the wrong job.
I worked seven days a week more times than six, and loved every minute of it, I must have when I recall my wife calling me regularly asking me if I was ever coming home, and even then, ate dinner at whatever time I came home. (Sometimes she would have already eaten, if she was hungry and could not wait, and we did not think anything of it)
Thinkabit, is quite right in his summation and suggestion about someone liking the terms and conditions before they start or accept a job or position.
Once upon a time YOU were in charge of YOUR life and that included your choice of job and employer, not anymore, now we have the unions dictating everything and that has been the ruination of many industries and businesses in Australia.
I must say that as a general question, I disagree that Sunday should be anything at all.
It is and will be whatever each of us need it to be.
As far as resting goes, I find that if you are so tired that you need a whole day of "rest" then I suggest you see a doctor, or a psychiatrist as it is obvious that there is something wrong with you that a good 8 hour sleep won't/can't fix.

Given the complete ballsup Andrews has made of the Chinese virus, it is looking like tougher restrictions will be introduced, and Victorians will be able to rest every day of the week - not just Sundays. It must be noted, however, that Andrews hasn't been able to enforce the restrictions he has already imposed, so how the hell is he going to enforce even tougher ones. Andrews certainly needs to take a rest - permanently - and let someone who knows what he is doing run the state.

ttbn,

it just goes to show these so called leaders all talk the talk when it comes to pre-election speeches and promises, but when they are called upon to do their job and show leadership, direction and problem solving, they prove they are just another shmuck like the people who voted them in.
You wonder why I foam at the mouth when they are referred to as "The Honourable the Minister", my arse.

While Victorians are now banned from SA, people from India are now arriving in the state. Work out that one.
