Alleged offences include employing children without a permit and not providing required rest breaks
A Muffin Break franchise in one of Melbourne’s biggest shopping centres has been slapped with 360 charges by Victoria’s child employment watchdog.
Wage Inspectorate Victoria has accused the Southland store of employing three children under the age of 15 without a permit on 111 occasions between March and October 2022. The bakery and coffee shop allegedly failed to ensure the children were supervised by someone with working-with-children credentials, and did not provide a rest break of at least 30 minutes after every three hours.
Other alleged offences include letting children work for longer than three hours a day during a school term and for longer than six hours a day during school holidays.

Reserve Bank review ‘seeking to break’ embedded culture in RBASky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood says the RBA review is “seeking to break” the embedded culture of not challenging or analysing the Governor of the Reserve Bank board's views. “In many cases, it’s probably fair to say that the people who are generally appointed the Reserve Bank board … they’re business people, and so they bring that perspective to the Reserve Bank board,” Mr Greenwood told Sky News host Sharri Markson. “They’re very busy people themselves, and so they don’t often have the time to do the analysis, to actually do the challenging of the Reserve Bank. “There’s been one view, and that’s been the Reserve Bank board Governor and his cohorts inside the Reserve Bank, and that’s been it - you don’t challenge it. “This, in many ways, sort of has embedded a culture inside the Reserve Bank that I suspect that the RBA review is seeking to break.”
