Labor says one in four workers are considered casuals and almost 200,000 casual employees have been with the same employer for more than a decade.
The Opposition also claims more than half of the nation’s 2.6 million casual employees have been with their employer for more than 12 months. Under Bill Shorten’s plan, these workers would be able to ask their boss for full or part-time contracts, provided they’ve met the one-year requirement.It’s not the only uncertainty as Bill Shorten continues his electoral pitch to the nation’s voters.
What remains shrouded in confusion is whether Labor would review the environmental approvals for the Adani coal mineBill Shorten has gone on the record as saying he has no plans to review the details, but that is seemingly at odds with Belinda Hassan. Labor’s candidate for Dawson said last week that the licence appeared to progress quite quickly, suggesting it could be examined to see if the proper due process had been followed.

AustralianLabor We can do that already wonder if he is loosing his memory or hasn’t his union friends explained
AustralianLabor billshortenmp, even if you gave me a permanent position for $1m/yr for doing nothing, or even my dream job, I wouldn’t vote for Labor. You and your party support killing babies, running the elderly into deeper poverty, and tax death.
AustralianLabor Casual employees working for an employer for more than a year, who could already have asked for their employer to make them full or part time workers, will (if Labor gets in) be allowed to FORCE THEIR EMPLOYER to make them full or part time workers; Casuals will LOSE THEIR JOBS
AustralianLabor Can the ones who were paid Below Award in Shorten’s and the Unions deals for big business donations apply to the ALP to get the millions they have been robbed of returned?
AustralianLabor Not sure 🤔 you understand the concept of casual Basic Bill. Outside of a relationship that is.
AustralianLabor First you need to keep your Job Bill Shorten Labor’s policy = 336,000 fewer jobs 1 2 Labor's Family Business Tax

ABC and Labor operating on a ‘symbiotic relationship’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says voters need to look no further than a Labor campaign advertisement about cuts to the ABC to see the ‘symbiotic relationship’ the public broadcaster has with the political left.\n\nMr Kenny points to climate change as an issue where the ABC’s ‘idealism’ matches Labor’s agenda, a topic he argues Opposition Leader Bill Shorten is seeking to avoid scrutiny on.\n\nHe says Mr Shorten believes he is getting too much heat from News Corp, so he is seeking ‘the solace of the ABC’ where it is ‘glossing over Shorten's factual errors’.\n\nThe Sky News host says it's impossible to overstate the role of the public broadcasters in setting the tone for political debate.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n Here’s the bias in a picture format so the lefty minions can understand it Omg are you two kidding calling ABC left bias?seriously you guys have mental issues,Sky runs the Liberal party in conjunction with the IPA.Kenny you are a lame joke ......one.....just one example of bias would suffice......news item?.....interview?......i have been asking for years for evidence and still waiting.....hopefully a couple of sky news trolls could help me out here.....guys?

Labor will crack down on exploitation of foreign workers: Chalmers | Sky News AustraliaShadow Finance Minister Jim Chalmers says he wants to crack down on the exploitation of foreign workers. \n\nMr Chalmers has told Sky News the Labor Party wants to bring the temporary worker threshold up to about $65,000 so there’s no financial incentive to hire foreign workers over locals. \n\nHe says ‘we shouldn’t be using foreign workers when there are local workers available’ because 'it's good for the economy and good for local businesses'. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Remember Shorten has the highest number of approved visa 457 on record when Labor was last in government. Allowing businesses/companies (often fully foreign owned) to bring in unnecessary foreign workers so they can under cut legitimate Australian business doing the right thing is criminal... Don’t bring them in, then they can’t be exploited. How about cracking down on MP
