SenateWednesday 27 August 2025

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

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (18:39): As I said before, this bill does not impose any additional obligations on employers, and I couldn't agree with you more about the need to lift wages in this country. That's exactly what Labor's workplace relations reforms have done over the last three years, and every single one of them has been opposed by the coalition. (Quorum formed)
