Penalty rates in Australia are time and a half or double time and a hal i'm staring to forget for a public holiday.. then if you don't have to work on the public holiday you recieve full pay...
So this system is screwed.
But back to the point. What I was Origanally getting at is that they seem to be useing easter as a bigger marketing/shopping campaighn here in the U.K,.

Which once against makes no sense to me in a town like Glasgow with one football club catholic and the other Prodistant... fucked if I know how they justify themselfs at church.
I mean if they are so ritcheous about there religons that they fight in the streets about it why don't they care at easter?

Anything people can commercialize they will. Personally I don't think any religious holiday should be paid vacation unless the people celebrating use a vacation day or personal day but that's just my opinion. As far as the banning, well, everybody wants to ban things they find offensive and nobody wants to take credit for it. Hell, the republicans get shit for wanting to censor and ban music all the time when Tipper Gore was the one who started that shit. Ah well, I'm glad I got off track here, I wasn't sure where I was going anyway. Like I said, no government in the world should stop working on a religious holiday, and I'm not even one of those people who are super crazy about separating everything religious from state (nativity scenes, menorahs, etc...).
