Jobs and Skills Summit begins today

Business and unions will come together in Canberra this morning for the government's highly anticipated Jobs and Skills Summit.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers says he is not looking for a unanimous outcome from the two-day event but is signalling a deal could be struck on skills and migration.

If the best solutions the summit suggests is sending pensioners, mums and children to work, I want a refund..

[gail]

People with this scale of wealth do not have any idea about the average Aussies.

The "Immigration" summit is what it is let's be honest, drop the mandates & it all ends.

[geoffreypayne]

So you increase wages by flooding the jobs market with mass immigration and giving jobs to 13 yr

[samopalvampirenvonbutlegin]

That event is useless for a simple reason: the agenda does not contain reindustrialization and achieving economic self-sustainability. It is not in national interests therefore.

*‘Unquackzined’ won't be represented at the Jobs and Skills Summit*

[markjmaxwell]

They are going to have to hope that immigration can fix the problem.
But with the median house price as high as it is in Australia this country is not the "Lucky country" anymore...
I wonder what they will offer people to come to this country

Some of the Unemployed refuse to attend I'm referring to the highest paid one's in Opposition. 🤣

[keiffy]

No mention of the indigenous MPs and Senators who are the only elected 'voice' - obviously NOT the voice Albo wants. Is this indicative of the voice fine print we are unaware of??

[bobbellamy]

If you can't keep Australian employees, your a shit boss.🤣

[jamestinning]

It should provide enough talking points to keep Chris, Chris, Andrew and Paul repeating details ad nauseum tonight.

[JamielDeAbrew]

“Skills shortage” is caused by a lack of business investment in training.

[aarononeal]

Shy news needs to talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees

[johncorlett]

[GLEN]

Small Business isn't there! Largest employer in Oz and they are not there!

[johnwoodrow]

Listened to about the first hour of the Jobs and Skill Summit, its being streamed live on SkyNews Extra. All I can say is really emphasise with the poor bastards who have to sit there and listen to this utter woke crap for 2 solid days. If I hear one more 'welcome to country' (every speaker is doing one) I'll likely throw a brick through the TV.
P.S. Did you know part of the problem is the toys we give children to play with. Just got to give little girls trucks to play with and it will go a long way to solving the current problem.
