My question is to the Prime Minister. Today I met with private sector aged-care nurses, including Dely, who is in the gallery today. Her husband Ken works in retail and faces a pay cut because of the Prime Minister's support for cutting penalty rates. Dely is worried that, once they start cutting Sunday penalty rates in some awards, her pay as a nurse could be cut as well. Why isn't the Prime Minister doing everything he can to protect the pay of all working Australians, including Dely and her husband?
