Agree, overhang.
I also don't know anyone that agrees with the public holidays, just another way to fatten up the public sector, and put more pressure on businesses to close their doors.
Higher costs, less work, fewer jobs.
The Unions are running the show.

I am an AFL fan, but I don't see any need to have a holiday, the DAY BEFORE the Grand Final.
It is not even Grand Final Day.
I have been successful business owner and before that a corporate high flyer and I never understood how self appointed oracles who have never owned a business manage to talk on behalf of an sector of the community who would eat their grandmas FTW. These "business councils" et al who advocate low wages, menial conditions and hard labour for food and shelter are part funded by govt to give legitimacy to govt policy decisions and invariably create a vacuum that savvy business type exploit for gain and profit.
Holidays are just as important to business as they are to workers. I shake my head when I hear advocates for Dickensian workhouse conditions and wonder at the persistence the Mr Bumbles broken records.
I take every holiday that is coming and want more so I can enjoy life without disorganised people ringing me about business imperatives that could have been avoided by better planning and more chillout. I also refuse to do any business work stuff on a weekend and made sure I was there for my family and friends instead. That's 40 plus years of habit and probably another 10 before I think about slowing down.
Success is not culling a workforce to make profit, it's not about segregating the whites from the blues, it's about stimulating growth and enjoining the individual parts of a business into a community within a community. It's about going to the footy and sitting in the cheap seats and yelling at the one eyed umpire/ref; it's about clinging to the remnants and innocence of childhood when everything was an adventure, not the copout of cynicism, envy and the mundane.
