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

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (19:00): I'm not aware of the Fair Work Commission having done that in the last three years, but I certainly remember them doing it under the former coalition government. That's true; they did. There are live applications before the commission right now seeking to cut penalty rates.
