My question is to the Minister for Employment, Senator Abetz. I refer to recent comments by junior minister Jamie Briggs, who said:

We cannot accept that on New Year’s Eve you can’t attend your ­favourite restaurant because it is impossible for that restaurant to pay its staff to open up …

and that penalty rates are 'an area we must reform'. Does the minister agree?
