1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nason.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 2: Jersey, no matter of arms for the pub test. Paid

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: less to work from home? Does this pass the pub test?

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 3: This is something that's been mooted by former Victorian Premier

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 3: Jeff Kennett. He has suggested that public servants who work

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 3: remotely should be paid less than those that go into

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 3: the office. He said, this will be fairer for people

8
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 3: who have no alternative but to be in his place

9
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 3: every day for your transport costs and all of that.

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 3: The other side of this, though, if you're working from home,

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 3: you're paying for your own heating, your own electricity, your

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 3: own biscuits. True, lots of things to weigh up, but

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 3: being paid less to work from home?

14
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 4: Does this pass the pub test?

15
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 5: I work for a company and we all work from home,

16
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 5: every single one of us have done since lockdown. We

17
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 5: don't have an office. To take a pay cut, you'd

18
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 5: see a great big walk out.

19
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 6: Oh no, my coworkers, I were just talking about it yesterday.

20
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 6: We kept everything going. Maybe we deserved a little bit

21
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 6: of a bonus. But if those people working from home

22
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 6: doing the same job as what they would be doing

23
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 6: in the office, no, mister Kennett, they do not deserve

24
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 6: to be paid less.

25
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm a truck driver, so if I could work from home,

26
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: I'd happily take a pay cut. No, it doesn't, because

27
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: if you're working from home, you've got the experence of

28
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: being at home and everything that comes with that.

29
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 6: Oh yes, definitely. I've saved so much money working from home,

30
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 6: so I believe it's fair.

31
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 3: Interesting variety of opinions
