Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Mr Frydenberg said “it is key for the government to see itself as a catalyst not the solution to the jobs recovery”. “That’s why we’re providing incentives to business, to help them grow, to innovate, to hire,” he said. Probed as to how long it would take for the number of available jobs to match demand for work from young Australians, Mr Frydenberg said it depended heavily on the easing of coronavirus-induced restrictions.
“Now the key to creating more jobs is to ease those restrictions and as we know, in my home state of Victoria – 25 per cent of the national economy – those restrictions are in place,” he said. “And we saw jobs lost in the last month of data as opposed to other state where the jobs have been coming back. “So as restrictions are eased the jobs will be coming back as people put into work the announcement we made in the budget and in the lead up to the budget.
Already shaking his responsibility before it's even started...
This budget is a fail!!! That is all.
60% percent of those business rely on direct consumer demand which the government can support, indeed did support with Job Seeker increases and Job Keeper. Cut those too deep too quickly and without the demand the business cannot create the jobs.
