The Banks Review of NCP
 
Please treat this as a submission.
 
The monetary penalties which the federal government applies when a state Parliament of Australia makes its own decisions about the limits of NCP must end.
 
In eg. Western Australia this legitimate Parliamentary role includes balancing the competing interests of smaller shops and bigger chains, the quality of the weekend, religious observance, community participation in social and sporting activities, and the occupational health and safety (including stress and overwork) and family obligations of small and micro business owners.
