Past your prime? Never. Michelle Yeoh's epic call on success and the true nature of the time it takes to achieve it. We look at the women's vote in the democracy Scott Morrison once celebrated, two years since he proudly said protesters were lucky not to be met by bullets -- like they are in other countries. We delve into the world of breastfeeding in courtrooms, and the judge that keeps booting women out. And just where will the skills come from to create this planned future around defence, renewable energy and the integrity of the care sector and more? From women Check out the powerful call to ensure we tap into this most valuable resource. As Danielle Wood told the Jobs and Skills Summit in 2022 (a quote that Sam Mostyn shared at The National Press Club on the 9th March 2023): "If untapped women's workforce participation was a massive ore deposit, we would have governments lining up to give tax concessions to get it out of the ground."Stories discussed this week include: ‘Don't let anyone say you're past your prime': Michelle Yeoh's epic win and call to women and girls Two years since Scott Morrison declared women lucky to not be ‘met with bullets'A breastfeeding woman's eviction from court is a sad reminder of how the law still privileges menWe can't meet challenges ahead without unlocking true potential of womenWe lead on women's education, economic participation is a massive opportunity: Danielle Wood at Jobs SummitWho will benefit most from Perrottet's ‘kids future fund' election pitch?Perrottet's child trust fund policy dusts off an idea last tried by UK LabourWhat to know about Australia's new $368 billion nuclear submarine dealThe giant submarine cost our children will carry on a future military gamble Hosted on Acast.

In our second episode of Inside IR, partners Rohan Doyle and Natalie Gaspar continue their breakdown of the action items arising from the Federal Government's Jobs and Skills Summit. We look at the proposed Same Job, Same Pay reforms, proposals to limit the use of non-permanent labour, and proposals to increase the proportion of employees covered by enterprise agreements. We also provide an update on the status of enterprise agreement terminations and multi-enterprise bargaining.

In our very first episode of Inside IR, partners Rohan Doyle and Natalie Gaspar begin their deep dive into the Federal Government's recent Jobs & Skills Summit. We look at some of the key areas of focus coming out of the Summit, namely the proposal to limit the ability of employers to terminate enterprise agreements during enterprise bargaining, and the potential for forced multi-employer bargaining and sector-wide industrial action campaigns. Rohan and Nat explore the practical impact these potential reforms might have on Australian workplaces and the issues to consider during the post-Summit consultation phase.

The Federal Government's Jobs and Skills Summit brought Australians together to work constructively on the challenges and opportunities facing the Australian labour market and economy. Leading the charge for small business at the event was Alexi Boyd, the CEO of the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia. She says she went to Canberra with four main issues in mind: industrial relations reform; migration; vocational training, and digitisation. In this episode, Alexi Boyd explains what was achieved at the summit for small businesses.

The Australian government announced it will increase its permanent immigration intake by 35,000 to 195,000 in the current fiscal year as the nation grapples with skills and labor shortages. Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil announced the increase for the year ending June 30, 2023, during a two-day summit of 140 representatives of governments, trade unions, businesses and industry to address skills shortages exacerbated by the pandemic. O'Neill said Australian nurses have been working double and triple shifts for the past two years, flights were being canceled because of a lack of ground staff and fruit was being left to rot on trees because there was no one to pick it. “Our focus is always Australian jobs first, and that's why so much of the summit has focused on training and on the participation of women and other marginalized groups,” O'Neil said. “But the impact of COVID has been so severe that even if we exhaust every other possibility, we will still be many thousands of workers short, at least in the short term,” she added. O'Neil said many of the “best and brightest minds” were choosing to migrate to Canada, Germany and Britain instead of Australia. She described Australia's immigration program as “fiendishly complex” with more than 70 unique visa programs. Australia would establish a panel to rebuild its immigration program in the national interest, she said. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced on the first day of the Jobs and Skills Summit that 180,000 free places would be offered in vocational education schools next year at a cost of 1.1 billion Australian dollars ($748 million) to reduce the nation's skills shortage. Australia imposed some of the strictest international travel restrictions of a democratic country for 20 months early in the pandemic and gradually reopened to skilled workers from December last year.

HK and JTI discuss the clash between journalism and the courts when unsolved murders are explored by journalists. Using Hedley Thomas's Teacher's Pet and the consequent conviction of Chris Dawson for the murder of his wife, Lyn as an example, HK Jack takes a lawyer's view while JTI argues that without Hedley Thomas, Chris Dawson would not have had his moment of reckoning. Meanwhile, the Libs are in crisis as they go through polling limbo. How far can they go? The Jobs and Skills Summit is a partial win for employers and a partial win for the union movement.

Against a backdrop of the lowest unemployment rate in 48 years, and with more job vacancies than unemployed people in Australia, a national Skills and Jobs Summit was held over two days in early September.  This is the first of two With Interest episodes that explore outcomes from the Summit.   In this episode, you'll learn what the summit delivered in terms of solutions for business.  Listen in as CPA Australia's subject matter experts discuss.  

Ben Davison gives a breakdown of the Jobs and Skills Summit.  Looking at the outcomes, the positioning, the deal making and the politics behind the biggest step change in how Australia's economy is set up since the Howard era. Australian Unions made huge progress towards multi-employer bargaining, tripartite decision making on the transition to net zero as well as skills and policies that improve access for women, workers with disabilities and migrant workers to better pay and secure employment.  Ben also looks at Brendan O'Connor's Insiders interview and the need for everyone to do more to support apprentices.  You can join your union, whether you're an apprentice or not, at australianunions.org.au/wow Peter Dutton and his Liberal Party decided not only to not attend but launched attack ads against the summit participants.  Dutton and his team rolled out the same old attacks against workers and pretended to be concerned for small business while their big business lobbyist mates were attacking small businesses calling them "weak links"  and accusing them of "betrayal". Alan Joyce, Gerry Harvey and the usual gang of rent seekers have tried to undermine the summit outcomes because their business models are built on exploiting a system that is about to change.

The Jobs and Skills summit brought together business, unions, employers, civil society and governments to address the current economic challenges. Political analyst Shan Kumar explains the outcome of the summit.

Skills and training for jobs in the future will also be on the agenda, as well as getting more people into work, system-wide changes to boost employment and tackling discrimination.

Labor has been spruiking its Jobs and Skills Summit for months, but is the gathering live up to the hype?  Anthony Albanese has spent his senior political career insisting that what's good for workers is good for employees – a belief that has allowed him, according to his colleagues, to build good relations with both unions and business leaders. Now Labor is attempting to put that assertion into practice. Columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno on the promises and perils of Labor's Jobs and Skills Summit.

A day out from the Jobs and Skills Summit, the Refugee Council is pushing the government to increase its humanitarian intake to help solve the country's labour shortage.

Van Badham and Ben Davison devote a BUMPER EPISODE to talking through: the modern Australian workplace ahead of Labor's Jobs and Skills Summit, the leadership of Sally McManus, Australian unions AND small business to get multi-employer bargaining back into the national discussion, and the *insane* suggestion of sending 13-year-olds into the workforce, and the origins of such a dopey idea.  Ben and Van also share the personal stories of three workers, Janene, Chris and Paul, who are making the case for change.  Like Janene, Chris and Paul you can become a member of your union at australianunions.org.au/wow Unequal payday happened this week and the ACTU released a report showing how we can unlock $111Billion by empowering women in the workplace and closing the gender pay gap.  Van and Ben examine some of the findings. We also talk about the planned Stage 3 tax cuts, as per listener request, with our views on why they are bad, why they are not a pressing issue and why Dutton wants this to be the story instead of Jobs and Skills.

Five days after WA delivered Anthony Albanese his election victory, The West's federal politics reporter Kimberley Caines asked the new Prime Minister if he would hold his Jobs and Skills Summit in the State. It made the most sense. WA's resources sector keeps the national economy ticking over and the State is one of the worst-impacted by the skills crisis. To her surprise he told her the summit would “most likely be in Canberra” — a place full of public servants and government bodies. But now what is even more surprising is only seven West Australians will be in attendance. That's seven out of 143 government, industry and union leaders from around the country — so just 4.9 per cent. WA has been robbed of a fair seat at the table. And she joins the show to explain what this could mean for WASee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In light of this week's Jobs & Skills Summit in Canberra, Eliza and Geraldine discuss the revolution that's occurring in the workplace. For Geraldine, COVID offered a professional reckoning. She's bounded back into the office, convinced of its power to assist creativity and collaborative work. For Eliza - still a big fan of the office - the workplace revolution has been transformative. The biggest change has been her ability to choose how to work: some days it's 9 or so hours with her colleagues, sometimes 5, sometimes WFH. With that choice and flexibility has come freedoms. But she's also mulling over how to best structure the work week. Also this week, new thinking about managing lower back pain. The power of Elizabeth Strout's novels. And Eliza's upcoming trip to Israel and the Palestinian Territories with her charity Project Rozana. We're taking a little break and will be back in 3 weeks. Thanks for listening!

Van Badham and Ben Davison breakdown the solicitor general's findings about Scott Morrison's shadow government of one, himself.  There will be an inquiry and Morrison says's he'll participate but looks to be imposing conditions.  Van explains how Morrison's conditions are a Trump tactic to shift blame and stall any real progress. As Labor's support surges ahead of the Jobs and Skills summit the ACTU, Australian Unions, has put out a discussion paper on how to create jobs while taking action on emissions reduction and climate change.  Van and Ben discuss the difference having genuine stakeholder engagement and participation makes to the policy process and, given the upcoming Jobs and Skills Summit,  what this might mean for laws in our workplace.  The best way to a secure job and higher wages is to be a union member so join at australianunions.org.au/wow The neo-liberal corporatisation of higher education has smashed job security in our universities while also sending the wages of the executives who are making profit driven decisions about higher education through the roof.  Ben shares a recent discussion he had with a leader of the NTEU (National Tertiary Education Union) on how the Liberal party used people's pre-conceived ideas about the sector and a strategy of not engaging stakeholders to create a workforce that is now mostly casual, underpaid and often the victims of wage theft.

With massive worker shortages across the country, migration is expected to feature heavily in the upcoming Jobs and Skills Summit, which brings together employers, unions, and governments to discuss the economic challenges facing Australia. Business groups are demanding the permanent migration intake be lifted to at least 200,000 for the next two years. Parts of the union movement have warned against relying too heavily on temporary migration, pointing to repeated cases of exploitation of migrant workers. Watch Kat Clay, Head of Digital Communications, in conversation with Brendan Coates, Economic Policy Program Director, discuss what the migration priorities for the government should be at the summit. To read the report in discussion, visit: https://grattan.edu.au/report/fixing-temporary-skilled-migration/

John Stanley talks to Ian Henschke, Chief Advocate, National Seniors Australia, about why it is so critical that the government allows seniors to work as many hours as they would like and also receive their pensions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
