Would you take a pay cut to work from home?

Former Victorian premier Jeff Kennett is proposing public servants who work remotely should be paid less than those that have no choice but to commute — such as nurses and teachers.

He explained his idea to Sammy J on ABC Radio Melbourne Breakfast.

EDIT - Here's the article in the Herald Sun they're referring to (unpaywalled): https://archive.is/20230711234402/https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/bid-to-have-employees-salaries-cut-if-they-work-from-home/news-story/6273dad7538f5485e182a6cd5e19cc92

Maybe we should just pay teachers and nurses more?
