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

Senator KOVACIC (New South Wales) (18:13): These are warnings from Australian business groups—the same groups that attended the Treasurer's productivity roundtable last week—but their views are being dismissed in the drafting of this bill. Their concerns, their views, their warnings, whatever you want to call them—you're basically saying they are wrong. Could you tell me what you actually need from them to actually accept that what they are saying might have some validity, or did you just dismiss it out of hand?
