The world needs you ....  Join Global Action Now! DEREGULATION / TRADING HOURS      "Almost 20 years of uncontrolled deregulation has brought unparalleled prosperity to those who have managed this      process or been able to adjust to the shock of the new.  But it has also caused widespread job destruction in      productive primary and secondary industries; replaced full-time work for many with part-time or casual employment or      contract labor; forced thousand of farmers off the land; created a huge pool of young and middle-aged unemployed and      under-employed; and downsized essential public services in banking, health, education and communications."  News      Weekly January 13, 2001 GENERAL COMMENTS While it has provided bonanzas to big business, the trend towards deregulation has proven disasterous for small operators and many other groups in the community.  GLOBAL ACTION (AUSTRALIA) supports improved opportunties and quality of life for all members of the community, not just extra dollars for a select few multinationals. GLOBAL ACTION (AUSTRALIA) will redress the balance on all fronts effected by deregulation by introducing new and repealing some existing legislation so as to provide opportunities for small and medium business, individuals, farmers growers and those in industry and manufacturing to perform profitably again. TRADING HOURS Issues relating to trading hours are often complex and varied, but in broad terms GLOBAL ACTION (AUSTRALIA) supports the right of small business to fair competition and will regulate to the advantage of small business - provided small business does not exploit the situation thus created with exhorbitantly high prices as has happened in the case of petrol service station shops.
