Senator McEWEN (South Australia—Opposition Whip in the Senate) (14:20): My question is to the Minister for Employment, Senator Abetz. I refer to recent comments by junior minister Jamie Briggs, who said: We cannot accept that on New Year’s Eve you can’t attend your favourite restaurant because it is impossible for that restaurant to pay its staff to open up … and that penalty rates are 'an area we must reform'. Does the minister agree?
