The Australian's Judith Sloan says there will be some very important announcements in relation to the continuation of JobKeeper and JobSeeker at the federal government's economic update on July 23. Ms Sloan told Sky news host Chris Kenny Australia's budget deficit for the financial year just ended, is looking to be "incredibly ugly".
She also said the unemployment figure "is really badly measured at the moment". "Partly because those on JobKeeker are not called 'unemployed'". Last week it was announced Australia's unemployment rate has risen to 7.4 per cent in June, which is the highest since November 1998. The Australian Bureau of Statistics said 992,000 Australians are now formally unemployed, with the underemployment figures expected to be much higher.

As much as I personally like the PM, I think his handling of the virus and his destruction of the economy has been an abomination. Australians suffer the consequences for generations. The problem is there a few who understand economics to grasp it. We did not need the lockdowns.
Normally we would get this info from our Parliament sources. Now we are all informed by in the know Murdoch's. When are our politicians going to stop their strike action and return to work?

Australia should 'limit its reliance on China' | Sky News AustraliaAustralia should look to diversify its trade relationship with like-minded countries like India and support major investments like the Adani coal mine in order to limit our reliance on China , according to LNP senator Matt Canavan.\n\nChina is Australia's biggest two-way-trading partner, accounting for 26 per cent of exports.\n\nHowever, relations between the two nations soured after the federal government led the call for an independent, global investigation into the origins of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.\n\nIn the aftermath of this, China slapped punitive tariffs on barley and warned its students against returning to study at Australian universities, citing 'racism and coronavirus' concerns.\n\nMr Canavan told Sky News the pandemic has given the government time to reassess its trade situation.\n\n'It is a difficult challenge, but I don't necessarily think it's a complicated one,' he said.\n\n'The simple things we have to do is to develop and diversify our relationship with other countries, reinvest back in making things in this country and therefore limit our reliance on one economy, that is China.\n\n'I'm not saying that's easy, I'm not saying it's just flick-a-switch and it'll happen, I'm just saying rather than flail about this, let's just focus on what matters...and what matters is building relationships with countries like India.\n\n'We should be supporting a homegrown domestic manufacturing industry in this country.'\n\n\n\n\n\n\n mattjcan You have had seven years to do this mattjcan and what have you done ? mattjcan What makes a country “like minded”? And how likely is it that you chose India so your brother can send his coal there? mattjcan Too late, Welcome to the new order. The Victorian Communist Party.

Free childcare would return $60B to Australian economy: Sarah Hanson-Young | Sky News AustraliaGreens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young has told Sky News the Australian economy is missing out on $60 billion by not providing free child care access which would lift female workforce participation.\n\nIt comes as the Australian Council of Trade Unions plans to unveil five major policy shifts which it believes will assist the country in its post-COVID economic recovery.\n\nOne of the proposals is to introduce free childcare.\n\nThe Morrison government recently wound back its free childcare package, introduced at the height of the pandemic, which aimed to keep essential workers in the workforce.\n\n“A generous and effective paid parental leave scheme would give new mums the need and the ability to stay at home,” according to Senator Hanson-Young.\n\n“We’re missing out on $60 billion by not providing that free child-care access to ensure we do lift the female workforce participation in this country.\n\n“Our participation rate for the female workforce is much lower and one of the key elements to that is the access to affordable and accessible childcare.”\n sarahinthesen8 That is why you do not let greens near economics sarahinthesen8 Yeh, & like the greens actually care?
