It's really good to be able to come in here on duty and talk on this motion on penalty rates for the second time. I spoke on it originally when the member for Longman raised the issue. One of the issues that I raised back then I will come to in a moment. As someone who's always worked in the private sector and didn't have a job in government or in Brisbane City Council, or as a career politician or in the union, I have a little bit of understanding of what it's like. I've crawled on my guts under houses; I've crawled through roofs in 35-degree heat.
