While the unemployment rate is at historic lows, a tight labour market has also brought challenges including widespread and acute skill shortages. Even before COVID-19, nominal wage growth had been weak and real wages had not risen significantly for around a decade. The ongoing effects of COVID-19, high inflation, rising interest rates, global economic uncertainty and disrupted supply chains further compound these challenges, which are holding back the potential of our economy and country.

The paper notes the labour shortage is particularly acute “with only one unemployed person per job vacancy, compared to three unemployed people per vacancy pre-COVID-19”.

Many Australians have not experienced real wage gains in recent years. Real wages have grown by only 0.1 per cent per year over the past decade and have declined substantially over the past year.

Australia needs an inclusive and balanced workplace relations system that can support parties reaching agreement on workplace conditions, adapt to new forms of work, and enable employers and workers to share the gains from productivity improvements. More also needs to be done to address pay inequality and promote safe workplaces.

The power of nature to swamp the beautiful northern rivers was devastating and that will be matched by our commitment and our dedication to rebuild and recreate our communities for the future. That will not happen overnight. I particularly want to thank Mary O’Kane and Mick Fuller for the work they have put in in relation to this flood report.

n

Today, the government releases that report and also responds. We have accepted every recommendation, some will take longer to implement than others, but the focus of the Government will be to implement these recommendations as quickly as possible.

[This] is a description of what occurs under Australia’s system of parliamentary government, in accordance with established precedent and practice. There are no standing or other orders of the House which require an announcement of the ministry, or ministerial changes, in the House.

It’s a small wrinkle in the case against Morrison. It’s arguable that tabling a list of the “full ministry” without disclosing Morrison’s extra portfolios was misleading parliament but there is no obligation to report changes in the standing orders.
