My question is again to the Treasurer and Acting Prime Minister. I again refer to the Spotlight AWA, which satisfies the government’s minimum legislative standards. I refer to a full-time adult employee, who under the Spotlight AWA will work a roster including Thursday night finishing at 9 pm and a seven-hour shift on a Saturday and Sunday. Isn’t it the case that this employee will be paid around $90 less than a fellow employee on the award?
