The decision of the Fair Work Commission applies to workers in the retail, hospitality and fast-food areas. It does not apply to nurses. The honourable member knows very well that it does not apply to nurses. It applies only to those sectors covered by the decision. What he and his colleagues have been endeavouring to do is, as usual, mislead and frighten Australians with their untruths.

Mr Keogh interjecting—

This is post-truth politics with a vengeance, utterly heedless of the truth, having no regard for the facts and determined to frighten and scare Australians. Anything they can do in their desperation to frighten and mislead Australians, they will reach at.

Mr Fletcher interjecting—

We are standing up for Australian businesses and Australian workers. We are providing the support for the investment and the jobs that they deserve. Labor is standing in the way with one untruth after another.
