E...I actually think WAustralians are a noble bunch. Even if the actual economics is not necessarily well understood, the intention is there.<br /><br />(In SG terms, the defeat of the referendum, is probably akin to disallowing NTUCs to open after 6pm so that the smaller supermarkets and shops can have more business. The second question refers to Ikea and other big stores not being able to open on Sundays to achieve the same result.)jeffyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16711567697887623146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419019.post-1109561409490387622005-02-28T11:30:00.000+08:002005-02-28T11:30:00.000+08:00Well, the good news for me is that what I voted fo...Well, the good news for me is that what I voted for won. I voted for Geoff Gallop, and I also voted 'no, no'.<br /><br />My vote 'no, no' will now be explained like Amy's was above:<br /><br />Q1. No, because the local businesses around me will have less and less business, as they get a lot of their business after hours. As well as this, punk-kids will be roaming the shops instead of studying at home. Punk-kids should study more. :)<br /><br />Q2. Basically like question one, except that I will give an example of one of my friends' parents. She works 6 days a week, leaving only Sunday which she has off. If they extend trading hours to Sunday, she would have to work on Sunday as well, leaving her no time for herself or for her kids.<br /><br />Western Australia is now the only Australian state with un-deregulated trading hours.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914864115887368190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419019.post-1109561145223707942005-02-28T11:25:00.000+08:002005-02-28T11:25:00.000+08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914864115887368190noreply@blogger.com
