    The govt must sense the decision on Penalty rates
    has become its latest Achilles heel.

    The sweat is pouring from the coalition ranks as they
    struggle with this issue.

    Its obvious they see it as a problem given Liberal Eric Abetz
    wants it watered down.

    The PM had laid out the coalitions case to stand by the decision
    but now is somewhat back pedalling calling for the cuts to be done
    gradually- whatever that means.

    Its obvious this issue is a big negative for the govt as its not easy
    to justify low paid workers in the hundreds of thousands
    losing $77 pw.
