Several petitions in this exhibition deal with the issue of commerce and availability of public entertainment on Sundays. Petitioners opposed the introduction of Sunday VFL matches, claiming it would “severely affect Victorian family life”. The Victorian Government opposed Sunday VFL matches throughout the 1980s. However, by the end of the decade, Sunday matches had become entrenched.
