'Important' to see government's Jobs and Skills Summit as the 'launch of a process'

Australian Banking Association CEO Anna Bligh says she thinks it’s important Australians see the government’s Jobs and Skills Summit in September as the launch of a process, not the landing of it.

“Two days is not going to be enough to solve some of the bigger issues,” she told Sky News Australia.

“That’s why I frankly think it’s a great idea that the government is seeing this summit as the beginning of a process that will see a whitepaper issued to the entire Australian community.”

Its the 'increase immigration from underdeveloped nations' summit, really. Just like all the other governments previously, the answer is more immigration to keep the wheel spinning a little longer

Aah! It's a wage crushing using immigration summit, got it!

The only thing that will come out of this “ we need more immigration “ because we haven’t got enough homeless Aussies living in tents and cars.

At 74 years of age I look back at my generation who left school at 15. Saterday was part of the working week. Get the High School "KIDs" out of of the schools. Not academic; 18 years old and still at School WHAT A JOKE!
