The Fawcett Flyer November/December 2020 1 THE FAWCETT FLYER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2020 APRIL 2018 Each year in November, Australians commemorate Remembrance Day 1 at the 11th hour on the 11th day to remember the 102,800 Australians who made the ultimate sacrifice across wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. With COVID-19 restrictions in place, 2020 commemorations were different to years past and required physical distancing to be adhered to in order to take place. As Remembrance Day in 2020 coincided with a parliamentary sitting week, I attended the commemoration event in Parliament House’s Great Hall. With 2020 drawing to a close, December’s two parliamentary sitting weeks provided the Government with the final opportunity of the year to pass legislation, including the Foreign Relations Bill (more on Page 2), among others. In 2020, the Government has passed 130 Bills, despite the challenges of COVID-19, including dozens of Bills which provided financial support for Australians who have been impacted by the pandemic. This year, the Government has delivered tax relief which is now increasing take-home pay for approximately 790,000 South Australians, supported 3.8 million Australians through the JobKeeper program, supported 412,543 people through the National Disability Insurance Scheme, finalised or enacted 5 export agreements including PACER Plus and the RCEP Agreement (more on Page 7), as well as adding 246 new and updated medicine listings to the PBS, among other significant initiatives. Australia’s economic recovery is underway and will continue into 2021. Over the past 6 months, Australia’s economy has added 734,400 jobs, and now approximately 85% of the jobs lost due to COVID-19 have returned. Australia has retained its AAA credit rating and Australia’s GDP grew 3.3% in the September quarter – further reassurance that our economy is bouncing back. Our GDP is forecast to grow by 4.5% in 2021 and our unemployment rate is expected to fall to 6.25% by approximately mid- to-late 2022. While 2021 may still prove to be challenging, our economy has demonstrated its resilience through the most severe economic crisis since the Great Depression. For more information on these or other matters of a Federal nature, please contact my office via the details available on the back cover. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and trust that we will all have a healthy, secure and prosperous 2021.

SA’s Lower House became the first jurisdiction in the nation to call for the recognition of a Palestinian state, as Labor used its number to force through a motion on Budget day. Page 1 of 5 AFOPA Media Report – 10 Aug 2017 www.afopa.com.au It called for the Federal Government to “recognise the state of Palestine, as we have recognised the state of Israel, and announce the conditions and timelines to achieve such recognition”. It comes amid a broader push within Labor to soften the party’s national platform’s longstanding support for Israel. Opponents of the SA motion say it fails to require important concessions from Palestine, including ending programs such as pensions paid to families of suicide bombers.
