Workplace Relations

My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm that, under his new workplace laws, workers who stack supermarket shelves five nights a week from 6 pm to 10 pm could lose up to $5,500 a year? Why is the Prime Minister's Christmas thankyou to frontline workers a cut in their take-home pay?
Christian Porter Pearce, Liberal Party, Attorney-General
With respect to the member for Spence's question, the scenario he outlines is not possible and would not happen—not now, not under what has been proposed by way of reform, not ever.
