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

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (19:01): I'm actually advised that it's three separate applications: retail, banking, clerical—all separate. I don't think it would be right to label that as a problem that doesn't exist. I think it's a very real problem for the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of workers who are paid under those awards.
