Fair Work Amendment (Protecting Penalty and Overtime Rates) Bill 2025

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (11:40): I think we're back to the same point about retrospectivity in that, right now, any party can go to the commission seeking to vary a term of an award, whether it be about exemption rates or anything else. Nothing changes in that respect, and I guess that's why we've left the drafting the way it is.
