Petition request

That the House of Representatives urge the Government to impose a 4-day work for all full-time workers and students, including those who work or study in schools.

Petition reason

I consider that 4 days of working or studying each week will help people to reduce stress and have more time to themselves and with their families. In my view, less stress will help people get more rest and be productive at work, school etc, which will also help students have more time to explore their hobbies and themselves. I think that this will also help the country's economy to grow because long weekends will attract tourism which means more revenue to the government.
