O Conselho de Ministros aprovou nesta quarta-feira, 11 de Dezembro, o projecto de lei especial que permite a cobrança de impostos a partir de 1 de Janeiro. O economista Carlos Vinhas Pereira explica que esta lei temporária renova o orçamento de 2024 para o ano de 2025, até que seja aprovado um novo orçamento, evitando “o famoso shutdown americano”. O projecto de lei especial, que prevê a cobrança de impostos a partir de 1 de Janeiro, foi aprovado em Conselho de Ministros, todavia o Governo insistiu na necessidade de se adoptar “o mais rápido possível” um orçamento para 2025.Esta lei temporária permite “a continuidade dos serviços públicos e da vida do país”, e pode ser utilizada quando o Estado fica sem orçamento no dia 1º de Janeiro. O economista Carlos Vinhas Pereira explica que esta lei temporária renova o orçamento de 2024 para o ano de 2025, até que seja aprovado um novo orçamento, evitando “o famoso shutdown americano”.“[Esta lei] está prevista na Constituição francesa, artigo 47, vai permitir simplesmente assegurar a continuidade orçamental do Estado francês para evitar o famoso shutdown americano. Esta lei tem que ser adoptada antes do dia 31 de Dezembro, evitando que a França fique bloqueada”, disse.A demissão do Governo de Michel Barnier deixou pendente a apreciação de um projecto de orçamento para 2025 - no Parlamento - cuja aprovação antes do final do ano se torna improvável na ausência de um novo Governo.Carlos Vinhas Pereira refere a que este texto - que inclui apenas dois artigos - autoriza o Governo a continuar a cobrar os impostos existentes, até que seja votado um orçamento formal.Este dispositivo permite ainda a renovação das despesas do Estado ao nível de 2024, através de “decretos de abertura dos créditos aplicáveis”. As outras disposições devem permitir ao Estado e à Segurança Social contrair empréstimos nos mercados financeiros, através das agências específicas (AFT e Acoss), a fim de evitar a suspensão dos pagamentos.“É uma lei muito simples e feita para ser adoptada rapidamente, tanto pelo Conselho de Ministros, como pelo Parlamento. O mais importante é que o Governo continua a poder cobrar o imposto, havendo ainda uma recondução da despesa e das receitas do Estado idêntica à que foi prevista no orçamento de 2024”, refere.A maioria das forças políticas representadas no Parlamento veio dizer que não se vai opor a este projecto de “lei especial”. Todavia, alguns deputados da Nova Frente Popular, nomeadamente da França Insubçissa, e da União Nacional pretendem apresentar uma alteração a esta "lei especial", permitindo a indexação da tabela do imposto sobre o rendimento.O economista lembra que esta alteração evitaria que 18 milhões de franceses pagassem mais impostos, sublinhando que “como não houve indexação da grelha dos impostos e as pessoas tiveram um aumento do salário ligado à inflacção, vão pagar mais impostos do que estava previsto no Orçamento de 2025”.No entanto, o Conselho Constitucional emitiu um parecer sobre a interpretação deste ponto específico da lei, bem como sobre a constitucionalidade desta medida específica no âmbito de uma lei especial e considerou que “as novas medidas fiscais”, não sendo consideradas “necessárias para assegurar a continuidade da vida nacional, não se enquadram no domínio da lei especial”.O Conselho Constitucional estima que a indexação não faz parte das medidas “que tenham lugar em lei especial”, porque ultrapassa “a autorização para continuar a cobrar estes impostos”. De fora desta “lei especial” do orçamento fica o aumento das pensões, aplicando-se as regras do Código da Segurança Social. A partir de Janeiro de 2025, todas as pensões dos trabalhadores do sector privado e dos funcionários públicos vão aumentar de acordo com a inflação, 2,2%, ou seja, um valor acima do que estava previsto no orçamento de Michel Barnier, que previa congelar as pensões no próximo ano durante seis meses.Carlos Vinhas Pereira considera que esta medida vai ter um impacto negativo nos cofres do Estado francês, numa altura em que o país precisa de fazer economias.“O Governo ou o Estado francês vão ter que assumir mais 4 milhões, o valor a pagar pelo aumento das pensões, quando é público que o país precisa de fazer poupanças na ordem dos 60 mil milhões de euros. É uma situação grave e se não houver um sinal do novo Governo, haverá, com certeza, uma reacção dos investidores, sobretudo, das [agências] de notação e dos bancos que vão aumentar a taxa de juro da França. A França está a pagar taxas de juro ao nível da Grécia”, nota.Face ao impasse político que se vive no país, o economista avança que este ano fica marcado “por um recorde do número de falências das empresas” e antecipa um 2025 complicado para o sector económico, sem grandes reformas estruturais,“Não vejo como é que não pode ser complicado. A falta de maioria no Parlamento, mesmo no caso de haver um Governo, não vai permitir grandes reformas. Não há possibilidade de dissolver a Assembleia, portanto haverá uma continuidade. Não se poderão tomar grandes decisões no sentido de melhorar a situação financeira de França. Tinha que haver um consenso, tanto de esquerda como de direita, e neste momento uma parte quer mais despesas públicas para melhorar a saúde, aumentar os salários - o que se compreende- e do outro lado há uma vontade de cortar neste tipo de despesa para poder resolver o problema do défice francês”, admite.

16-03-2023. The latest news from Australia and Ukraine, and from rest of the World. Defence Minister Richard Marles says Paul Keating's criticism of the AUKUS submarine deal has not shaken the government's confidence in the security arrangement. Mr Keating has slammed the cost of the program and called it Australia's worst international decision since the conscription policy of World War I. The Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) is calling for people on the low incomes to be prioritised in the upcoming budget as Australians continue to battle a cost of living crisis.

As of next week, Workforce Australia will be the new way to find a job and claim unemployment benefits. The difference is, it will use a ‘points system' to ensure welfare payments but a new ACOSS report has shown that the current government job-seeking program isn't working and there are some elements that need to change.

Are we "stumbling zombie-like into a digital dystopia"?From the frontlines of a NON-full employment economy, we speak with Dr. Simone Casey on her observations of Workforce Australia.Heterodox economists often say, there is no such thing as a "natural" or "free" market. All markets need government regulation in order to exist. Case in point: the privatised "employment services" market. This market requires both government regulation, and government money, in order to exist.This market is going through a shake-up via new regulation -- a new contract -- transforming the market from "jobactive" to "Workforce Australia". But is this "market shake-up" going to help unemployed workers find meaningful, secure, decent work? Or will it merely refine the government's surveillance and punishment of people receiving unemployment benefits?Show NotesTo contact ACOSS policy officer, Dr. Simone Casey, with your stories about Workforce Australia,email Simone at simone@acoss.org.auPoints-based Activation in Workforce Australia – ACOSS FAQMutual obligations and the New Employment Services model (NESM) - ACOSS briefingPoints Based Activation SystemIntroduction to the Points Based Activation System for Workforce AustraliaExplainer - Workforce Australia and Points Based Activation System (PBAS)GetUp! petition to employment service minister Tony BurkeAustralian Unemployed Workers' Union (AUWU)Mutual Obligation: Independent job seeker Satisfaction SurveyDr Simone Casey, January 2020MusicTheme music:One in Ten by UB40St. Germain by Alice IvyKelli's Number by U.S. Army Blues is licensed under a Public Domain Mark 1.0 License.http://freemusicarchive.org/music/US_Army_Blues/Live_At_Blues_Alley/0_-_08_-_The_US_Army_Blues_-_Kellis_Number

Minimum wage earners say that an extra $40 a week isn't enough to improve their circumstances. ACOSS agrees saying when levelled with the inflation rate, low income workers will still be left behind. While the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry says today's decision, coupled with the increase to the superannuation guarantee, will cost businesses nearly $8 billion a year

Der Australian Council of Social Service und andere Gruppen des kommunalen Sektors haben ihre wichtigsten wahlpolitischen Forderungen zur Verbesserung der Lebensbedingungen von Menschen mit geringem Einkommen dargelegt. Zu den Forderungen von ACOSS gehört, dass die neue Regierung den Satz für JobSeeker und andere Einkommensbeihilfen dauerhaft anhebt - etwas, wozu sich keine der großen Parteien verpflichtet hat.

We're repeatedly told this election is all about the cost of living. Basically, the cost of living is the amount of money it takes to cover basic expenses - things like food, fuel, electricity, childcare and healthcare…things you can't do without.   Jan Fran's joined by Cassandra Goldie, CEO of ACOSS and Adjunct Professor with UNSW Sydney; and Mellita Rose, a single mother of two from Perth struggling to makes ends meet. In last month's federal budget, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said the government was focused on helping Australians make ends meet. It was all about the cost of living.   Well, why are low-income earners being left behind?

With Greater Sydney's lockdown extended until at least the end of August, the state and federal governments are increasing their COVID Disaster Payments for hundreds of thousands of businesses. There's been some criticism surrounding the eligibility criteria of the payments, but Senator Bridget McKenzie says that during this pandemic, she'd rather be on welfare in Australia than "anywhere else in the world".

Today I’m speaking with Pas Forgione  from ACOSS Aust’n Council for Social Services.Pas is the Raise The Rate community organiser, working closely with people on Newstart (now JobSeeker and JobKeeper) and Youth Allowance, to support them to share their stories, as well as with other supporters and organisations.Before this, he spent over 5 years coordinating Anti-Poverty Network SA, a grassroots campaigning organisation led by people directly affected by poverty and unemployment, that advocated on a wide range of topics related to social security policy, included the inadequacy of Allowances and Pensions, cashless welfare, robodebt, Job Active, Centrelink call waiting times, and other issues.

We always knew that increasing JobSeeker wouldn't be temporary, and now the social engineers are making the case for why it should be permanent, completely ignoring its perverse incentives. And we explore the positive of COVID-19 - how it's exposed the true face of China.

Almost a year ago, the Federal Government committed to developing a package of legislative reforms that would further protect freedom of religion under Australian law and in the community. The Australian Council of Social Service says it supports enshrining the right to freedom from religious discrimination in legislation, but that the draft Religious Freedom Bill goes too far, privileging religious interests over the rights and interests of other people. John Mikelsons, Senior Advisor, Community Services and Health at ACOSS spoke to Small Change about the background to the draft Bill and the key areas of concern. Produced by Lisa Burns.Support the show.

Compared to its OECD peers, Australia has an above-average poverty rate, and couples this with rising rates of homelessness, an increasingly casualised workforce, and dole rates so low that a chorus of voices from across the political spectrum are calling for an increase in Newstart payment.But has the country really got the measure of poverty rates and their impacts? What’s life really like on the breadline? And what policies do we need to ensure a social welfare system that protects the most vulnerable in society? This week on Policy Forum Pod a brilliant panel - Nicole Wiggins, Dr John Falzon, and Professor Matthew Gray - tackle these questions and more.Pod presenters Professor Sharon Bessell and Martyn Pearce also discuss Australia’s Anti-Poverty Week, Australia’s Women of Influence, whether writing to MPs is an effective way of changing policy, and last week’s Great Green Debate live event.Professor Matthew Gray is Director of the Centre for Social Research and Methods at The Australian National University.

This BZE Radio episode was broadcast on Monday 23rd October 2017 “Every parrot in the pet shop is talking about Energy Policy” ACCCBut for a summit , a lot of voices were absent. Big Wind, Big Solar and the growing movement of citizens, intellectuals and NGO’s demanding the rapid energy descent away from coal oil and gas. The chiefs who supply us with over 80% of our dirty energy were there as the clean energy target was swallowed up and the National Energy Guarantee emerged.The NEG requires Energy Retailers to give a guarantee of reliability. They will need to contract or own a certain amount of dispatchable power. As more coal fired power stations close, this could mean they invest in pumped hydro storage , batteries or gas turbines. In a heatwave when all the air conditioners go on, pumped hydro storage can turn on in 20 seconds and batteries in 1 second, according to Professor Andrew Blakers ANU.  He says 20 or 30 of the 22,000 possible sites need to be developed for pumped hydro storage and they can be built quickly, but none of this was discussed at the summit.The NEG also requires retailers to guarantee electricity with a set level of emissions intensity. The amount will be reduced each year. The emissions from gas were hardly mentioned. Does this mean the responsibility for our Paris Commitments is in the hands of retailers?Many of the people we interview say that we need a carbon tax to cut emissions in every sector and it was clear at the summit that even business leaders who had opposed this in the past were now demanding any sort of policy framework as long as it could survive short term governments. Mark Butler said  “At the end of the day companies will start contracting and trading with each other and a price will emerge on that which reflects the carbon obligation”.Comments that the RET was a subsidy to renewables ,that all subsidies are out and we now have a level playing field might bamboozle some people. But until all subsidies to fossil fuels are removed and Dr Finkel’s recommendation that we have an Economy Wide Plan by 2020 to map out the energy descent away from fossils, we are expected to trust to the market.We hear fromChief Scientist Dr Allan Finkel Environment and Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg Opposition leader Bill Shorten ACOSS head Cassandra Goldie National Farmers Federation  leader Fiona Simpson. Further Reading:https://reneweconomy.com.au/kidston-pumped-hydro-storage-capacity-boosted-25-24533/ http://reneweconomy.com.au/investor-confidence-could-be-smashed-without-additional-detail-62884/   22 Oct 2017|Categories: Community Show

This is the speech that I gave as the opening of the ACOSS Conference in June 2014. This was only a few weeks after the horror first Budget of the Abbott Government. Many in the community sector were shocked at the attack on low income people and were afraid of the consequences for vulnerable people and themselves.    An associated blog article is here.

Speakers: Andrew Leigh, Cassandra Goldie, Sue Richardson, Cassandra WilkinsonAustralia was, and remains, less unequal than other western nations. But since the eighties, income and asset ownership have become steadily more concentrated. Despite this, serious public discussion about the growing inequality of income and opportunity has barely begun. In this discussion, four experts - Dr Andrew Leigh MHR, Federal Shadow Assistant Treasurer; Cassandra Goldie, CEO of ACOSS; Sue Richardson, Principal Research Fellow at the National Institute of Labour Studies; and Cassandra Wilkinson from the Centre for Independent Studies - discuss how inequality is impacting on our lives, our economy and our society - and the leadership we need for a fairer Australia. Recorded at Swinburne on 18 September 2014.
