QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator DOLEGA (Tasmania) (14:23): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Senator Walsh. The Albanese Labor government is committed to ensuring working Australians earn more and keep more of what they earn. Part of that is influencing balanced employment conditions.

Recently, we marked the one year anniversary of the government's landmark changes to protect penalty rates and give workers the right to disconnect. Minister, how have these changes benefited workers across the country?
