Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (14:49): My question is to the Prime Minister. Today the Prime Minister has heard from just some of the nearly 700,000 Australians who will have their pay cut because of the Prime Minister's support for the penalty rates decision. Government members interjecting— Mr SHORTEN: The Prime Minister has the power to stop these pay cuts, and he will not. Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition will resume his seat. The level of interjections on my right is now far too high—I am going to ask the Leader of the Opposition to begin his question again—and, if that continues, there will be members joining the member for Fenner and others. The Leader of the Opposition will begin his question again. Mr SHORTEN: My question is to the Prime Minister. Today the Prime Minister has heard from just some of the nearly 700,000 Australians who will have their pay cut because of the Prime Minister's support for the penalty rates decision. The Prime Minister has the power to stop this decision, and he will not stop the cuts. Why is this Prime Minister doing everything he can to give big business a tax cut but doing absolutely nothing to stop workers getting a pay cut?
