My question is to the Prime Minister. Terry works in a newsagent in my electorate. Terry says he works on Sundays and sacrifices time with his family and friends at important events like birthdays to provide for his partner and a 4½-year-old son. Terry stands to lose almost $4,000 a year because of the Prime Minister's support for cutting penalty rates. He says the cut to penalty rates will just mean the same work for less money. Why won't the Prime Minister use his power to stop Terry's pay cut?
