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

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (19:06): We've established that the word 'ensure', as in the 'Fair Work Commission must ensure', is used in this act 71 times. In the past, the parliament hasn't been shy of requiring the Fair Work Commission to do certain things—and this will make it 72, I guess.
