My question is to the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations. I again refer to the Australian Sweets AWA. Minister, isn’t it the case that this AWA provides a base rate of pay of only $530.45 per week, a cut of $36.55 per week against the relevant state award? Why do you arrogantly ignore hundreds of thousands of Australians who told you today that AWAs like this cut their take-home pay?
