Greens Leader Adam Bandt said today\u2019s jobs figures reveal a jobs crisis in Australia, especially amongst young people, and underscore the need for urgent government intervention to provide meaningful, secure work in a climate-challenged economy.
\n\u201cThese figures reveal a government with no plan to create meaningful work for young people in a climate-challenged economy,\u201d said Mr Bandt.
\n\u201cNearly one in three young people either doesn\u2019t have a job or doesn\u2019t have enough hours of work. It\u2019s a national scandal.\u201d
\n\u201cThe climate crisis is smashing agriculture and tourism, but the government is continuing to back coal and wreck important parts of the economy.\u201d
\n\u201cAustralia needs a Green New Deal to tackle the jobs crisis and the climate crisis. Government must help create new jobs and industries so that everyone who wants a decent job can get one.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
