My question is to the Prime Minister. Kerry works as a pharmacy assistant in South Australia, and she is here in the gallery today. Kerry says that the decision to cut penalty rates will cost her around $1½ thousand a year from an annual wage of just $34,000. The Prime Minister's support for cutting penalty rates will mean that Kerry will struggle to pay her bills. Why does the Prime Minister think that Kerry deserves a pay cut?
