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

Senator KOVACIC (New South Wales) (17:48): Minister, earlier you told the chamber that the bill won't impact IFAs. Based on the conversation—the questions and answers we're having now—if your government isn't addressing the unworkability and barriers to entry identified in the commissioner's own report, can you explain to me how, in practical terms, IFAs are meant to deliver genuine flexibility for workers, particularly in the case that I outlined earlier?

How can an IFA be used to deliver that flexibility, as one of the solutions that you offered?
