Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:32): Senator Urquhart, I am sorry—this might be tedious—but every time you tell a lie I am going to point out the truth. The fact of the matter is that the Turnbull government made no submission to the Fair Work Commission recommending a reduction in Sunday penalty rates. The PRESIDENT: Senator Gallacher, a point of order? Senator Gallacher: The point of order is that Senator Brandis is accusing another senator of a direct lie. That is against the instructions you have issued to the temporary chair and members in the Senate about the use of the word 'lie'. The PRESIDENT: Thank you very much, Senator Gallacher. I was probably too busy writing. Senator Brandis, it would help if you withdrew. Senator BRANDIS: If it helps, Mr President, I will. Senator Urquhart, every time you mislead the Senate I will set the record straight. But I am surprised you asked that question. You know that the government made no submission to the Fair Work Commission recommending a reduction in Sunday penalty rates—none whatsoever. You also know that the Turnbull government last Friday made a submission to the Fair Work Commission, on the transition and implementation arrangements, that it should take into consideration the economic impact and the effects on low-income earners in mitigating any hardship that may be experienced. That is the submission the government has taken, but we do say, and will say so time and again, that we respect the integrity and the independence of the Fair Work Commission.
