My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. On 1 July up to 700 Australian workers will see a wage decrease when the cut to Sunday penalty rates begins to take effect. When wage growth is at its lowest level on record, why is the government supporting a cut to some of Australia's lowest-paid workers?
