MODERATORS
But in January, Mr Bleijie said he would not be moving to substitute Anzac Day for another day as it fell on a Saturday, rather than a Sunday.
This is the definition of un-Australian.
No shock that the lnp is opposed to days off work though.
i forgot we have a 6 day work week in this country
Just don't show up for work lol what are they going to do fire everyone
This feels illegal!
20 business day month. (For the sake of the Accountants)
If we had 25th of 28th off, in addition to Good Friday and Easter Monday, April would only have 19 workdays which would confuse the Bean Counters.
Meanwhile, March is going to have 21 workdays. (Same with May and June)
