Senator POLLEY (Tasmania) (14:10): It is understood that penalty rates are a vital part of the modern awards safety net, which supports some of the lowest paid workers in our country. Why do penalty rates and overtime rates matter so much— Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senators, particularly those on my left, there needs to be silence while the question is asked. Senator Polley, please continue. Senator POLLEY: Why do penalty and overtime rates matter so much to these workers, and why is it so important that the Albanese Labor government's legislation is passed without delay? Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I'm not quite sure, after I asked for silence, why there wasn't silence.
