In reality though, many of us do a lot more than that.  So how many extra hours is reasonable?  That's a question being tested in court, in a high profile case involving the teal independent MP Monique Ryan and her former staffer, the activist Sally Rugg, who says she worked up to 80 hours a week.  Today, an expert in employment law on why Australians are working too much, and what the case could mean for employees across the nation.  Featured:  Dr Giuseppe Carabetta, senior lecturer in employment law, University of Technology Sydney
