Big Business, Unions Call for Childcare Reform to Bring Women Back to Work

Big Business, Unions Call for Childcare Reform to Bring Women Back to Work Big business and the unions are looking for Treasurer Josh Frydenberg’s May 11 budget to get women back to work by revamping the childcare and paid parental leave systems. Jennifer Westacott, the chief executive of the Business Council of Australia (BCA), argues that Australia’s population is growing at its lowest rate since World War I and that it is critical to lift female participation in workplace. “Our child care and paid parental leave systems are a barrier to women who want to get back into work and they don’t work for modern families,” Westacott said, noting that the Productivity Commission found over 90,000 people nationwide didn’t work last year, the main reason being the high cost of child care.

Five ways to make this year s federal budget more female-friendly

In a speech to the National Press Club on Tuesday, the Australian Council of Trade Unions president will put the Morrison government on notice that it must do more to boost stagnant wages and reverse women’s economic inequality. O’Neil’s warning comes as a new report from the Australia Institute urges the Coalition to deliver a “less sexist” budget, proposing several measures to address what it says has been a “massive bias” towards men in previous Coalition budgets.

Australia s dobseeker to target bad behaviour in interviews

Louise Kennerley/AFR The Morrison government’s new hotline allows employers to report jobseekers for rejecting employment offers, bad behaviour in interviews, missing appointments or voluntarily quitting. The Scott Morrison Government’s new Employer Reporting Line, labelled the “dobseeker” hotline by critics, allows employers to dob in jobseekers not only for rejecting employment offers but for behaving badly in interviews, missing appointments or voluntarily quitting their job. The scope exceeds what the government foreshadowed in February when it announced a phone number for bosses to report jobseekers who turned down “suitable” job offers. Launched earlier this month, the hotline also allows employers to notify the government if a jobseeker has “demonstrated misconduct or unsuitable behaviour at a job interview”, “submitted an inappropriate job application”, “failed to attend an interview” or “voluntarily left a suitable job”.
