        @BernardKeane why continue to wrongly claim that people advocating 1.5-2.0 penalty rates instead of 2.5+ are 'opposed to penalty rates'?

        @BernardKeane proportionally over a whole year, penalty wage rates are a miniscule part of a business's costs.

        @MichaelTuckerTV @BernardKeane and such a large and no doubt costly campaign against them makes you wonder what the motivation is.
