We need to improve productivity in Australia — but I disagree with a productivity agenda that relies upon the dismantling of basic workplace protections like sick leave & workers comp, gigifies more work, and makes job insecurity even worse. My thoughts at The Sydney Institute:

Spoke to SBS News about McKell Institute’s research, outlining why the Anthony Albanese / Peter Malinauskas intervention in Whyalla was so critical Outrageous that the Federal Opposition hasn’t offered fulsome support for SA workers, and Australian sovereign capability

Nice The interest should go back to the renter, as we at McKell Institute proposed in January. And be interoperable with similar schemes being established in NSW and QLD

In 2023, we told the Senate that a re-elected Coalition government would likely re-privatise huge swathes of the public sector, as had occurred between 2013-2022. The Coalition's promise today to strip $24b from the public service is a recipe for more privatisation and worse

For years, claims have been made that the industrial relations agenda of the Labor government would smash jobs. But the opposite has proven true: as Australia enters the election period, it does so with the strongest labour market for 50 years. Our analysis:

"For three years, Australians have been told that [Australian Unions-led] industrial relations reforms were going to smash jobs," Mr Cavanough said "The data suggests the opposite is true." canberratimes.com.au/story/8921451/…

“The Albanese Labor Government has overseen one of the lowest average unemployment rates of any government in Australian history” - kudos to Max Douglass & Ed Cavanough on this McKell Institute report mckellinstitute.org.au/research/repor… #auspol #ausecon

Pleased to see the provision of an alternative to predatory payday lenders But a longer-term option is to administer this exact scheme through MyGov, with no intermediary bank or charity A MyGov based emergency loans scheme would be simpler to use, and cheaper for government

Solid changes to rental reform kicking in in NSW pleased to see a push to provide alternatives to rent-tech ticket clippers making rent needlessly expensive to pay Need to roll this out nationally nsw.gov.au/ministerial-re…

Non compete clauses for people in regular wages is nuts, usually unenforceable and often intentionally intimidatory very glad to see Jim Chalmers MP commit to abolishing them for everyone earning under $180k tonight

Same Job, Same Pay is working. Our report released today finds the law is delivering a greater uplift in wages than originally forecast, is seeing more labour hire workers being directly hired, and is delivering economic dividends for regional Australia. More 👇

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese launched our latest report today in Cessnock. It’s finds that Same Job Same is delivering huge pay rises for workers in the Hunter and beyond. Thanks PM and the MEU for partnering on this research.

Same Job Same Pay - now bipartisan policy? Our McKell Institute report yesterday highlighted how SJSP is delivering. Good to see it’s findings accepted by the Opposition

Media release: Dutton ‘backflip’ puts Same Job Same Pay wage cutting schemes back on the table

The Coalition can’t make their mind up on Same Job Same Pay. Are they for fair wages or against? For mining workers or mining bosses? Changing your mind every day is no way to run a campaign, let alone a country abc.net.au/news/2025-04-0…
