    ANTHONY ALBANESE MP LEADER OF THE AUSTRALIAN LABOR PARTY MEMBER FOR GRAYNDLER JIM CHALMERS MP SHADOW TREASURER MEMBER FOR RANKIN BRENDAN O’CONNOR MP SHADOW MINISTER FOR EMPLOYMENT AND INDUSTRY SHADOW MINISTER FOR SCIENCE SHADOW MINISTER FOR SMALL AND FAMILY BUSINESS MEMBER FOR GORTON E&OE TRANSCRIPT DOORSTOP INTERVIEW PARLIAMENT HOUSE, CANBERRA THURSDAY, 14 MAY 2020 SUBJECTS: ABS Labour Force data; unemployment/underemployment; bushfire crisis; people missing out on support from the Government during COVID-19; JobKeeper; Australia’s relationship with China; Queensland’s bid for an equity stake in Virgin. BRENDAN O’CONNOR, SHADOW MINISTER FOR EMPLOYMENT AND INDUSTRY: Well, thanks very much for coming. I just wanted to respond to the ABS figures today and just say a couple of things about the unemployment rate, underemployment rate, underutilisation rate of the labour market. What is clear is as a result of a number of factors, the labour market has contracted, and we have very, very high underemployment. And yes, unemployment has risen, and one of the reasons it hasn’t even been higher is that the participation rate has collapsed. A very low participation rate and a very, very high underutilisation rate. Almost 20 per cent, which is, of course, unprecedented. And the other thing to remember is this is a picture of the labour market of last month. This is a month ago when the surveys were conducted. So, this is not telling us the story of today, it is telling us the story of a month ago. And yet, these figures are quite frightening. And I think it does go to the question, it was always going to be the case that our nation would be challenged by this pandemic.

  • Citizenship and the Constitution: We Want to Hear from You
    MEDIA RELEASE Issued: 4 March 2015 Chair – Mr George Christensen MP HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Deputy – Ms Sharon Claydon MP STANDING COMMITTEE ON SOCIAL POLICY AND LEGAL AFFAIRS Citizenship and the Constitution: we want to hear from you A panel of Australia’s leading experts on the Constitution will gather in Canberra on Friday, 20 March to discuss what it means to be an Australian citizen in the twenty first century, and the community is invited to attend, listen on the Parliamentary website, tweet or submit video questions. While changes to the Constitution are rare, a number of High Court decisions have challenged how we interpret our Constitution and the rights of citizens. In addition, a changing social and security environment may challenge how we confer or uphold citizenship. The Social Policy and Legal Affairs Committee will host a roundtable discussion to debate these and other issues surrounding citizenship and the Constitution. The roundtable will begin at 9.15am on Friday 20 March in the Main Committee Room, Parliament House, Canberra. There will be three sessions: 9.15am Session One: High Court decisions and their impact on the understanding of citizenship (introduction by Professor Kim Rubenstein) 11.00am Session Two: Rights and responsibilities of citizenship under the Constitution (introduction by Professor George Williams) 12.45pm Session Three: The Australian Constitution and citizenship in the twenty first century (featuring video and Twitter questions) A full list of participants and a detailed program for the day will be published on the Committee website (at www.aph.gov.au/spla) in coming weeks. The roundtable will be livestreamed on the Australian Parliament House website at http://www.aph.gov.au/live.
