"Huge increase in the numbers off sick" Yeah almost as if there was a significant worldwide health event with long term consequences. Now to take a big sip of coffee and see what the leader of the opposition demanded happen to schools (known breeding grounds for disease)

Actually, it's almost like over the last two decades, real wages haven't fallen, there hasn't been an increase in the precarity of work, and rising workloads with less resourcing. I wonder why more people are getting sick?
