My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. Yesterday, the minister failed to tell the Senate what work the government has undertaken on the overall economic and budgetary impact of the cut to penalty rates his government supports. Given that the minister, or the Prime Minister, claims that the pay cut of up to $77 a week for up to 700,000 workers 'will generate more jobs and more employment', what work has the government undertaken on the overall economic impact of the cut to penalty rates?
