Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese has criticised the federal government’s JobMaker plan for only incentivising employers to hire Australians under the age of 35, claiming older workers are “being left behind”. Labor will be pressured to pass the wage subsidy scheme – which will see employers receive between $100 and $200 a week for hiring a worker between 16 and 35 years of age – when parliament resumes today.
Mr Albanese told Sky News Labor’s primary issue with the scheme “isn’t that younger people are being given support, it’s the 928,000 people who get no support”. He said a common aspect of a recession was “it was often older workers who lose their jobs and some of them never work again”. “What we need to do is make sure out of this recession that people aren’t left behind,” he said. “Too many people have been left behind during the pandemic by being left out of wage subsidies.
AlboMP So true. Hubby is 54 and unemployed for the first time in his life - applying for everything, can’t get a job. This is so so so stressful. Anyone need a good worker?

The 'Russia hoax' continues to be a 'soft coup' against President Trump | Sky News AustraliaDonald Trump doesn’t have to beat former vice president Joe Biden to win in November, he has to overcome the most “extraordinarily biased media campaign” faced by any politician, according to Rita Panahi.\n\n“As well as interference from big tech including Facebook, Twitter, and Google,” she said.\n\n“Not to mention the soft coup from government agencies involved in the Russian collusion hoax and more”.\n\nIt comes amid allegations which emerged in the New York Post that Mr Biden’s son Hunter Biden was involved in a ‘pay for play’ scandal whereby he allegedly received money in transaction for access to the then-vice president.\n\nMs Panahi said the story was sensational but most of the mainstream media in the US is either ignoring it or claiming, “without a shred of evidence, that it’s part of a Russian disinformation effort”.\n\n“The same media who for more than 3 years pushed insane Russian conspiracy theories is again using Russia, Russia, Russia as an all-purpose excuse not to do their job.\n\n“Because doing their job would be devastating for their preferred candidate, Joe Biden”.\n\nMs Panahi said the president is up against not only Mr Biden but also mainstream media and the tech giants especially given Twitter originally tried to block the story on its platform.\n\n“It would be the most astonishing victory in modern political history if he can pull it off.”\n realDonaldTrump JoeBiden RitaPanahi Yes!! 😡 RitaPanahi realDonaldTrump JoeBiden realDonaldTrump JoeBiden RitaPanahi Industrial hypocrisy.
