Help Save Our Weekend

How do you use your weekend? Footy, barbies or a good old-fashioned sleep-in - we all try to do something special.

Nick Xenophon is pushing a plan to cut penalty rates for those who work in retail, restaurants or catering. Encouraged by business, he says the weekend is "largely outdated". He doesn't believe you deserve to be compensated for losing out on time with family or friends. His bill will also strip hundreds of dollars from the lowest paid workers.
