If we do not pass Labor's penalty rates bill today, in 10 days 700,000 workers will get a pay cut. On the same day, those that make $1 million a year will get a $16,400 tax cut. It does not stop there. There will be more pay cuts for those workers on 1 July next year, there will be more pay cuts for those workers on 1 July the year after that and also the year after that. Hospitality workers, retail workers and pharmacy workers are the victims of Malcolm Turnbull's indifference and callous disregard for workers.
