My question is to the Prime Minister. We all know what the Prime Minister meant when he said he supports the decision. What government policy was the Prime Minister referring to this morning when he said: 'Well, there's the, there's no question for you if you, um, well, the evidence seems to be very strong that if you have, er, lower penalty rates, lower rates on a Sunday or a public holiday, then there is less then there is more incentive, if you like, it's more affordable for businesses to employ people. That's common sense. But that's one consideration.' Prime Minister, don't Australian workers deserve better than that?
