My question is to the Minister for Small and Family Business, the Workplace and Deregulation. Fair Work Australia terminated a Work Choices agreement struck by Laundy (Exhibition) Pty Ltd because it left workers worse off in relation to penalty rates, leave and overtime. The minister was a director of the company when this unfair Work Choices agreement was struck. Given the minister's previous support for Work Choices, does he plan on reintroducing any elements of that unfair legislation, or is he content to continue the government's cuts to penalty rates?
