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

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (11:59): I can't predict exactly how the Fair Work Commission will make future decisions based on this bill, but the usual process that the commission undertakes in an application is to consider all of the evidence that's submitted and reach a fair and reasonable position. I would expect that that's what they'd do in this case as well.
