My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the website of Brisbane law firm Connor Hunter, which states:

The Federal Government’s work Choices amendments offer you the opportunity to reduce your overheads significantly.

…         …         …

Employers can remove award conditions ... without compensating the employee at all. This affords employers the opportunity to reduce weekly pay through making cuts to penalty rates, overtime rates, leave loading, shift allowances and other forms of remunerating employees.

Prime Minister, they are right, aren’t they?
