Billlionaire family warning: 'Pay penalty rates, we're broke'

 
Workers at an idyllic tropical north Queensland island resort owned by one of Queensland's richest families claim they have worked hundreds of hours of unpaid overtime while being stripped of penalty rates under a decade-old WorkChoices-era 'zombie' agreement.
It can be revealed the pay issues come amid a major headache for Island's owner in the Fair Work Commission, where a single worker is taking on the might of the multimillion-dollar business by launching an action to terminate the decade-old 'zombie' agreement.
