I think a much better option would be 7 am to 2 pm, 6 days a week, like we used to have in some offices many years ago. This is more appropriate for our climate and also gives people time for a siesta, and half a day to attend to other domestic responsibilities. Blindly following European timings in our climate doesn't make sense.

Best option is to close 90% departments for good as they are nothing but a hive for corrupt and a drain on taxpayers .

Reducing number of days has a purpose i.e save fuel and electricity. I would say make is 4 days with 8 to 5 as Fri is a low productivity day anyway.
