Fair Work Amendment (Protecting Penalty and Overtime Rates) Bill 2025
Senator KOVACIC (New South Wales) (19:20): I understand that, and it is very noble to deliver on a commitment. That commitment was made prior to the House moving the legislation through based on a Senate inquiry, and that Senate inquiry has raised concerns. We need to understand that the scenario we have today is somewhat different to the scenario that we had when the promise was made.
So my question is around whether you will now consider it, given it wasn't considered before the passage of this legislation—rather than moving forward.
