"This is a newly created role under the JobMaker program and as such candidates will be expected to demonstrate eligibility with the JobMaker provisions," one advertisement read.Ads have begun appearing specifically asking only for people who meet the eligibility to apply."To be successful in this role you will have: Eligibility for the JobMaker program ."
"Individual circumstances will vary, and employers should seek their own legal advice as to how the law will apply to them." "So here the argument would be that because young workers had been disproportionately pushed out of work, having some sort of incentive to bring them back into work is a reasonable measure and therefore it's a form of positive action."
Any company refusing to even interview older applicants is probably not interested in hiring well, only hiring cheaply. I hope these companies correct their attitudes. I've lost hope that the government will.
Not when your Christian govt pens the draft
It's being encouraged by Morrison govt policy, legality doesn't come into it.
I hope this applies to the cabinet too.
Absolutely ridiculous. As you get older it is harder to find work, I'm only 37 and even I have noticed it getting harder. 😒
'So while these subsidies may help, they may just serve to displace the problem.' The ScottMorrisonMP govt consistent as ever. auspol
Treasury said it falls within the exemptions to the Anti Discrimination Act? There shouldn't be any exemptions in an Act! What's the point of having it then! 🙄🥴
Businesses just hire casuals as many as possible and don’t care about them. There are businesses with 2 full time and 15 casuals in each roster. How on earth this is fair? If you have enough hours for 15, surely you can give some of them some stable job and hope for the future.
A company will employ whoever it deems most suitable anyway. Why waste the older people’s time? To abide by stupid socialist regulations and because it’s ‘illegal’? Thankfully my small business lives in the real world. I’ll employ who I want thanks.
They need to be taken to court.
Yep. It's called Ageism. It's perfectly legal despite what the politicians tell you. Aging is not that much of a minority so it's ok to discriminate against older workers. Ain't equality wonderful? You've gotta be a real minority to claim discrimination.
Can they make a list of what companies are doing this as that way the people over that age or support them can Stop buying products from those companies which could lower their customer base and that would be pure Karma
The biggest cohort of unemployed is somewhat over the upper limit of JobMaker isn't it?
It is discrimination. Let’s apply JobMaker to our political cabinets. ✌️
It's up to the company decide if they want you or not
No, it is not. It is discrimination - which everyone knew would happen with an age related subsidy. The measure should have been linked to “first job” or “more than 2 years out of work” - all verifiable by tax records. To link to age breaks fundamental equality laws.
