My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the government’s $55 million advertising campaign, which included the Work Choices booklet, which stamps the following entitlements—public holidays, rest breaks, incentive based payments and bonuses, annual leave loadings, allowances, penalty rates, shift/overtime loadings—as protected by law. I also refer to clause 20 of the Spotlight 2c an hour AWA, which includes: ‘This expressly excludes the operation of protected award conditions with respect to public holidays, rest breaks, incentive based payments and bonuses, annual leave loading, monetary allowances, penalty rates, loadings for overtime or shiftwork.’ Prime Minister, rather than being protected, aren’t all these gone for 2c an hour?
