The Liberal National government has already cut penalty rates for hundreds of thousands of workers. Now they’re looking at who’s next – and it could be you.

Paying your staff correctly should not be optional! We need to criminalise #wagetheft

My mum worked hard all her life as a retail pharmacist, rarely took lunch breaks because customers always came in the shop.
She's never earned even close to half of $200k.
And the Liberals voted 8 times to cut her penalty rates #haveago
PM #ScottMorrison spells out the justification for tax cuts that disproportionately benefit those earning over $200k. “The harder (people) work, the more they earn, the more they keep of what they earn.”

.@RichardMarlesMP on Newstart: The first thing that could be done is not attack penalty rates, which is what this govt does. It is up to this govt to come up with a proposition in respect of wage stagnation & do something about this.

The guy currently getting paid (more than $1m/year) to eat bisque and caviar has publicly campaigned against paying penalty rates to hospo workers working Sundays #MasterChefAU #Mastertheft

FACT: People who've ripped off their workers to the tune of nearly $8 MILLION shouldn't be on the telly promoting themselves and their businesses.

Imagine saying low-paid hospo workers are paid too much and that penalty rates are hurting your profits (while living in a Toorak mansion), only to then unionise with your co-workers & quit because your $1 MILLION+ per season salary is too low!

Honorable mention to that time he slammed penalty rates as an "unsustainable business model"

Reminder that George Calombaris was a high-profile public advocate for cutting weekend penalty rates – whinging how much it cost him.
Turns out he wasn't even paying them.
Back in the news again.
George Calombaris wage theft scandal blows out to $7.8m.

If a worker grabbed $10 from the till they'd have a criminal conviction.
But when you're a millionaire - "The Masterchef star has been ordered to make a $200,000 "contrition payment"..."

What a joke - George Calombaris gets slapped with a $200,000 fine for underpaying his staff millions. There needs to be harsher penalties for ripping off workers. bit.ly/2M6H2Yr
