But I am also asked about penalty rates. When Sunday penalty rates were cut from 200 per cent to 175 per cent, the opposition did nothing. When they were cut from 175 per cent to 150 per cent following a decision of the commission, they did nothing. On this occasion, they decide that they need to intervene in the independent decision of the commission. This shows the Leader of the Opposition is not interested in penalty rates for workers. He is just a cheap opportunist who will run on any issue to run down the economy or anything else just to pursue his shallow political interest.
