Should Australia transition to a four-day workweek?
Countries including Ireland, Scotland, Japan, and Sweden are experimenting with a four-day workweek, which requires employers to provide overtime pay to employees working more than 32 hours per week.

@92LPKSS2yrs2Y
This could never be universally applied.
@99HRFT41yr1Y
Yes, of 30 hours. The fifth should be a day of paid political participation, allowing citizens the time to continuously partake in the democratic process.
@998CJHD1yr1Y
only if no loss of wages

@92FBQB72yrs2Y
Not as default, but increase flexible working arrangements wherever possible
@92F7GSZ2yrs2Y
Yes but I think it should be encouraged by the employer and decided by them. To encourage better work life balance. Not as a standard rule or law.
@92DNJGB2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as extra pay is given on Friday.
@92DKHTJLiberal Democrat2yrs2Y
We would Only Achieve that by the Free-Market.
Yes, work life balance should be a higher priority

This decision should be made by private companies.
@92HRDBS2yrs2Y

@92GZ2CC2yrs2Y
Depends on how many hours are worked daily.
@8Z28WVBOne Nation2yrs2Y
Yes to give other a chance of work but not a reduction of wages
@8Z24LSD2yrs2Y
This should be up to individual companies
@8YWMRGYIndependent2yrs2Y
No, but we should transition to a 6 hour working day
@8YLV9KWOne Nation2yrs2Y
Yes only if you don't loose money
Yes if they work 10 hour days
@8YH575GIndependent2yrs2Y
No, transition to a 6 hour work day
Yes if applied fairly to all. Currently this only helps white collar employees and disregards sectors such as retail, emergency services, hospitality and logistics
Flexibility rather than mandate
