My question is to the Minister for Employment, Senator Cash. I refer to the member for Dawson, Mr Christensen, who yesterday said:

I have spoken to the Minister for Employment Michaelia Cash and there is confusion over whether or not Labor's amendment would mean small businesses in my electorate ... would have to give back pay, costing them thousands of dollars.

Given section 135B(2) of Labor's amendments make it clear that the changes apply 'from the commencement day', why did the minister mislead Mr Christensen?
