asked the Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations, upon notice, on 29 July 2011:

With reference to award penalty rates, is it correct that a baker employed by a wholesale bakery can commence work two hours earlier than the normal award hour, namely 5.00 am without being required to be paid penalties for the whole shift, whereas if a baker doing exactly the same work but for a retailer is so engaged, penalties have to be paid for the whole shift for the baker in the retail bakery.
