My question is to the minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. Yesterday, in response to a question I asked the minister in relation to Prime Minister Turnbull's support for a pay cut of up to $77 for up to 700,000 Australian workers, the minister said, 'The Prime Minister has said no such thing, and your assertion that he has done so is not the truth.' On 17 March, when asked by Neil Mitchell of 3AW whether he supported the cut to penalty rates, the Prime Minister said, 'Well, we do support it Neil, and I've been very clear about that.' Given the Prime Minister's very clear support for the pay cut, when will the minister correct the record?
