I can. The analysis presented to the education and employment committee indicates that workers who work only or primarily on Sunday would, in most cases, be better off under the relevant award than they are under agreements negotiated by the unions those opposite represent. I'll give an example. Workers at McDonald's are receiving $8.08 less an hour on a Sunday than they would under the relevant award. Workers at Woolworths are receiving $5.26 less, and workers at Coles are receiving $5.42 less than what they would have received under the relevant award. The interesting thing is this: the SDA and United Voice, I have to say, get the gold star. They get the gold star for negotiating away workers' penalty rates, but not far behind, colleagues, you'd be pleased to know, are the AWU and Bill Shorten. (Time expired)
