SenateWednesday 27 August 2025

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

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (18:16): No, we shouldn't—and I welcome the member for Goldstein to the better chamber! No, we shouldn't. What we should do is pass a law that delivers an election commitment that we made to the Australian people, that the Australian people voted for and that will protect voters from having their penalty rates cut.
