My question is to the Prime Minister. It is reported today that company profits have increased by record amounts. If the Prime Minister gets his way, these same companies will receive a generous tax cut. At the same time, the decision to cut penalty rates will mean workers at the Morley Galleria shopping centre in my electorate will have their pay cut. Is this the Prime Minister's future for my state of Western Australia—taxpayer funded handouts to big businesses but pay cuts for low-paid workers because he supports the decision to cut penalty rates?
