Former Premier of Victoria, John Cain (1982-1990) has died. Television news obituaries were mostly accurate, except for one minor detail. They credited him with introducing Sunday retail trading in the state, but this is not correct. His government introduced reforms permitting retail trading on Saturday afternoons, whereas they previously closed in the early afternoon. Later state governments fully deregulated trading hours.
Random and disjointed ponderings on faith, life, culture and professional issues (occasionally).
