AWAs banned in public service
The Community and Public Sector Union welcomed the ban, which does not cover statutory authorities, saying it would make the public service a fairer place to work.

From the white-tiled kitchen comes the thud-thud-thud of cooks pounding veal chops. Nearby, two bartenders quietly cut limes into quarter-inch slices and remove caps from liquor bottles, preparing to fill orders. And then, the customer orders a limontini. A server, in a solemn and solicitous voice, explains the problem: The orange and lemon slices have only been soaking in the vodka a few days. It will take a week for the spirits to be fully infused.
