We should have a free market determining when shops open for trade. If there is a demand for their product or service at 3am on a wednesday morning, leave the decision up to the retailer whether or not they wish to be open.
The arguments agains Extended and Sunday trading are for the most ignorant, ill informed or just plain selfish. If you don't want to shop on a sunday afternoon, nobody is forcing you to do so.
I find it amazing in this state how I can buy McShit at 4 in the morning but I can't find a supermarket open to buy the makings of a healthy meal at a reasonable price.
Why can you test drive a new commodore at 8pm on a wednesday night but you can't go get your kid new school shoes?
