Mr President, I have a supplementary question. Do you agree with the Productivity Commission's analysis that reducing penalty rates for weekend work in the restaurant, retail and hospitality industries would improve convenience and reduce prices for consumers? Can you estimate the extent of the price reductions to consumers, if small business employers in these industries were no longer required to pay weekend penalty rates?
