Thank you, Mr Speaker. On the subject of penalty rates, we have seen again and again the Leader of the Opposition in his days as a union leader signing away workers' penalty rates in return for payments to the union, union lists and some new arrangement—again and again—whether it is the workers at Melbourne Olympic Park, the workers at Chiquita Mushrooms or the workers at Clean Event. We have a long list of workers who earn less on Sundays and Saturdays because of the Leader of the Opposition. He is a master at cutting penalty rates. He is an adept expert at cutting penalty rates.
