I move:
That the Senate notes:
- (a)
- 25 November 2009 is national Go Home On Time Day;
- (b)
- Australians work more than 2 billion hours of unpaid overtime each year;
- (c)
- Australians work the longest hours in the western world;
- (d)
- excessive unpaid overtime has significant industrial, economic and social implications; and
- (e)
- long working hours can have negative consequences for physical and mental health and personal relationships.
Question agreed to.
