      Last year I went looking for some evidence or logic behind the Right's push to cut penalty rates. I couldn't find it:http://bit.ly/1cSjBq0

      @BernardKeane Most fish shops at Brisbane beaches closed New Years Day because owners wont pay #penaltyrates. Wrecked picnics. Reform needed

      @EVERALDATLARGE & what happens when you cut wages (which is what cutting penalty rates does)? look around. lower growth, lower tax revenue.

          @BernardKeane @EVERALDATLARGE plus you expect business to pass it on to consumer. Not true most industries in Oz are uncompetitive.

          @BernardKeane @EVERALDATLARGE wages might be cost but they are also a source of income. Cut income you cut spending meaning.

          @BernardKeane Little justification for #PenaltyRates. No case for exorbitant #ExecutiveSalaries. Prefer fair days work for fair days pay
