I am, Mr Speaker. I again refer the Prime Minister to the Connor Hunter website, which also states:

Now a workplace agreement will result in a reduction in the overall terms and conditions of employment of the employee.

Isn’t this confirmed by the government’s own statistics, provided at Senate estimates on 29 May, which showed that under the Prime Minister’s industrial relations legislation, from March until Senate estimates in May, 52 per cent of AWAs reduced or removed shiftwork loadings, 63 per cent of AWAs reduced or removed penalty rates and 64 per cent of AWAs reduced or removed leave loadings?
