Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for the Arts) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Attorney-General and Minister for Industrial Relations. I refer to his previous answer where he said that the words in the amending bill and the act were precisely the same. Does the Attorney-General realise that, if the words were exactly the same, it wouldn't be an amendment? Why is the government trying to use the pandemic as cover for a pay cut without being upfront with the Australian people? The government is suspending the better off overall test. That allows workers to be worse off.
