My question is to the Prime Minister. Approximately 323,000 people are employed in the club, restaurant, cafe, hair and beauty industries. Can the Prime Minister guarantee that these workers will not have their pay cut because of the precedent set by the penalty rates decision which the Prime Minister supported? Will the Prime Minister make a submission to the Fair Work Commission to protect the penalty rates of workers in these industries?
