My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. Last week the Turnbull government made a submission to the Fair Work Commission on its decision to cut penalty rates which will see up to 700,000 workers lose up to $77 a week. Can the minister confirm that the government's submission supported a pay cut for some of Australia's lowest paid workers?
