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

Senator BARBARA POCOCK (South Australia) (10:51): I think my question deserves a better answer than that. I'm asking on behalf of many workers watching this who want to know why they don't have the right to seek flexibility. These amendments, as you'll be aware, enlarge a right to request flexibility.

They don't create a right to get it; they say more workers should have the chance to ask. Why are you opposing that right for those workers?
