Today’s Labour force figures, showing the loss of 15,000 jobs across the country in December, provide a warning to the Albanese Government that the high number of Australians in work cannot be taken for granted.
The Albanese Government must urgently act on the ACCC’s Regulatory Reform report (Interim Report No 5) of its Digital Platform Services Inquiry, initiated by the former Coalition Government, which recommends tough new laws to combat scams and other harmful anti-competitive conduct on digital platforms.
Federal Member for Hume Angus Taylor has welcomed confirmation by the Albanese Government that the delivery of Round 2 of the Coalition’s Regional Connectivity Program (RCP) will go ahead after a delay of nearly five months.
The Treasurer has today confirmed the Coalition left Labor with an incredibly strong economy and strong budget with record terms of trade, record employment and a $50 billion budget turnaround in 2021-22.
Labour force figures released today by the ABS are clear proof the Albanese Government is doing nothing to tackle the labour crisis engulfing Australian businesses.
Inflation figures out today confirm what many families are already feeling – the cost of everything is going up.
The ABS has confirmed The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 1.8 per cent this quarter. Over the twelve months to the June 2022 quarter, the CPI rose 6.1 per cent.
