Lieberal voters want Sunday penalty rates kept - poll

Shows how completely out of touch and far right extremist the Productivity Commission is, and it's recently released recommendations to cut Sunday penalty rates for low paid wage earners in Australia.

Even those in the Lieberal stronghold seats of Abbott and Joyce, voters are strongly opposed to any changes in Sunday penalty rates, with some even wanting them increased.

       The Turnbull government will face overwhelming opposition from voters in key Liberal and Nationals seats if it supports the move to cut Sunday penalty rates. 

With Labor and the union movement working hard to persuade voters that Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull favours cutting Sunday pay for retail and hospitality workers, exclusive ReachTEL polling conducted for the left-leaning Australia Institute shows the move will face strong opposition from electors in key Coalition seats. 

Polling across the federal electorates of Warringah, held by former prime minister Tony Abbott, Dickson, held by Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, New England, held by the Nationals' deputy Barnaby Joyce, and the NSW seat of Page on December 17 found between 65 per cent and 79 per cent of people in those electorates want Sunday penalty rates in the retail industry either kept the same or increased. sydneymorningherald
