@tanya_plibersek The 2008 was on the back of a decade of good Howard/Costello management
@tanya_plibersek SEEING THE SILLY ABS, does not count one as unemployed , if u work one hour per week, ONE lousy hour mind u, the REAL number would be around 15% unemployed, or 20% underemployed, these figures r ratshit, mean nothing, really. 🤔🐭
@tanya_plibersek Recently the LNP were claiming that the unemployment rate was 4%. Yet some economists were saying it was 15%. Why are they allowed to use such misleading figures? Can you put a stop to it? It's not good enough that they can mislead the public.
@tanya_plibersek @MalBJones So lets say"lowest since Labor was last in power".
@tanya_plibersek 👇 working hours per capita
@tanya_plibersek 👇 working hours per capita
@tanya_plibersek Tanya, please please please offer something different. I am sure I'm not the only sick to death of hearing politicians commentating on other parties. Just because that's the way it is doesn't mean it has to be. Be better so we can vote for you
@tanya_plibersek @Eschertology Except of course the numbers are low for a variety of reasons where people just aren't on the books, like me. I was signed up with a job service provider, but because I don't qualify for payments, I was kicked off their books in June 2021, thanks to the LNP.
@tanya_plibersek Yes and HOW are the underemployed and 1000s of people now being contracted on short and finite agreements? How about the people who are now part time because there’s not enough work? This is smoke and mirrors! Give us the real numbers.
@tanya_plibersek When talking about the unemployment rate you should use the term 'The ABS Unemployment Rate' to distinguish it from the Actual Unemployment Rate.
@tanya_plibersek OMG you are scraping the bottom of the barrel there Tanya. Something the CCP wrote for you?
@tanya_plibersek It was nearly 10% during the Hawke-Keating government. But l think he is referring to the period Rudd - “Gallard”. In any case, in theory, you have a job and you get paid for doing nothing.
@tanya_plibersek And we need lower taxes - Yep
@tanya_plibersek But typically...only honest because he didn't think it through and stuffed up. #AccidentallyHonest
@tanya_plibersek It was hitting 6 % after Labor left because of their policies #CarbonTax
@tanya_plibersek Hey Australia has Morrison got his Marketing cheer leaders ?? Yes frydenberg, Dutton leading Cheer Squad liberals?? 2022 election with Marketing DEBT GROWTH AUSTRALIA
@tanya_plibersek Australia has had enough of this BS government who BS to the people of Australia, each and every day. Our worst government ever! They need to go. #LNPDisgrace #RemoveTheRabble #LNPLast #Vote1Labor
@tanya_plibersek It must be worrying for you that the Morrison government currently in on fire.
@tanya_plibersek someone should point out how the population has grown since labor were last in office. the govt rant about more women in jobs could be because there are a million more women
@tanya_plibersek If you want your party to make any chance during the next election, you need to take leadership, instead of making these backbench snide comments... Albo is not going to cut it.
@tanya_plibersek We all make mistakes @tanya_plibersek, he’ll go back to his regular scheduled lying shortly
@tanya_plibersek Yes. But people generally aren't going to connect the dots like you have. They will just hear unemployment great figures 10 years. He's not silly. He's a true manipulative politician. So sad we have to rely on politicians to run our country. ALL feathering their own nests.
@tanya_plibersek Employment too low Rubbish. Those who want to work will always find it regardless of who's in power
@tanya_plibersek Nothing to do with no immigration or temp visas for fruit pickers at all!
@tanya_plibersek I would like to know what the criteria is for being employed!! I think have been told you only need to work 2 hours a week to be classed as employed. Can anyone verify?
@tanya_plibersek I would also suggest that the figures are now skewed as the threshold for "employment" hours has lowered since I was a lad !
@tanya_plibersek Chuckling to myself that I just read the first bit in @shaunmicallef voice! Also chuckling at Scotty's self-own. He's unraveling like a ball of wool the kitten found.
@tanya_plibersek Just another pollie twisting words to make themselves feel better
@tanya_plibersek When large numbers of foreign workers and students are away overseas. One might think that lower unemployment would be obvious.
@tanya_plibersek someone should point out to him, in a country just to our East, the unemployment rate in the December quarter was 3.2% cf Australia’s 4.6%. So not looking like great economic managers then...
@tanya_plibersek What do Tanya and @GeorgePapa19 have in common? Obsessive useless tweeting might be the answer.
@tanya_plibersek Doesn't take into account the rampant underemployment and casual work that leaves people in a very vulnerable position financially. I'd like to see those figures.
@tanya_plibersek And its not low. The classification of unemployed should be total hours per week divided by 35 to give equivalent full time percentage of people looking for employment. Include those doing courses to find employment. This is the ONLY 100% honest way to give an accurate figure
