My question is to the Prime Minister. Margarita is a single mother with two children who regularly works Sundays at a hotel. The Sunday penalty rates help Margarita put food on the table and buy shoes for her kids. She stands to lose thousands in take-home pay. She says, 'Everything is getting more difficult. The bills go up, so why is our wage going down? Where's the balance?' Can the Prime Minister explain why he is willing to intervene in the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal and the CFA decision but will do nothing to stop Margarita's pay cut?
