COMMENTARY     

Dion
4th July 2010 		As an Australian, I can tell you, it's very much a part of the expectation here, especially in white collar work or when it's big business competing. The expectations are in the contracts. No one likes it, but too many morons are in power who do not think of health holistically, only profits.
