Eric Abetz has said no worker should be worse off under the penalty rate cuts, and thus they should only apply to new workers.
So he is acknowledging the the change to penalty rates makes workers worse off, but is advocating for wages to shrink in the future.

Its to wedge Turnbull - Turnbull has to pass on the penalties because independent advice, abide etc, pro-business, so come out against them as unfair puts Turnbull on the wrong side of the conservatives agains so Tony can rock up as a compassionate conservative. Or Dutton. It's pure politics just to continue to gently caress over Turnbull and keep him unstable.

Regarding the "or Dutton" part, knowing his track record he would have an initial reaction to say the wage cuts don't go far enough. Compassion isn't something he really understands.

John Howard has two notable achievements worthy of respect: Gun control laws and stopping Mark Latham from becoming Prime Minister.
