Well, everyone will have to pay it so level playing field within the domestic market and I would guess a lot of workers affected are in retail and care work so won't having a real impact on international competitiveness. And rember the fuss before the 97 election about the Minimum Wage? Business seems to have coped well enough though.
At the end of the day everyone should be entitled to the same BH rights.
