A Labor government will accept any Fair Work Commission decision to slash weekend penalty rates, but would use its influence as the government to pressure the independent umpire.

Senior Labor figures — including industry spokesman Kim Carr and employment spokesman Brendan O’Connor — today equivocated over whether a Labor government would accept the commission’s decision, due after the election.

Bill Shorten, who had previously promised to accept whatever decision emerged, today pledged to “intervene” in the case if he wins government on July 2.

“If we are successful on July 2, my government will further intervene in the case before the decision to strengthen, only as a government submission can, the case to defend our penalty rates,” the Opposition Leader told reporters in Geelong.

The Libs and Greens seem to have a case of premature ejaculation as far as this goes.

It will tear their whole farrago of lies about being the workers' friend to shreds.

All those areas with 600,000 mortgages which the penalty rates are paying off. Dead in the water which is turning red.

not sure what you are so excited about. .. Shorten has said that he will intervene in any attempts to cut penalty rates if labor wins govt. What part of that are you struggling with?
