The first two weeks of September have been set down for Labor's historic bring together of business leaders, worker representatives along with other interested parties and politicians, about 100 invitees in total, to discuss the critical economic issues confronting Australia around barriers to employment, while delivering a higher quality labour force, and at the same time growing Australia's industry base.

Labor's Treasurer Jim Chalmers has released an 'issues paper' to set the focus of the summits agenda, it contains five key areas.

(1) Full employment and growing productivity.
(2) Job security and wages.
(3) Labour participation and reducing barriers to employment.
(4) A high-quality labour force through skills training and migration.
(5) Maximising opportunities for the industries of the future.

If successful this summit should go a long way towards securing Australia's economic future.

It was good to see both the Nationals leader David Littleproud and Greens leader Adam Bandt willing to cross the political divide and accept Labor's invitation to attend for the greater good of Australia. Unfortunately Opposition leader Peter Dutton has chosen not to front up, making himself, and his party, even more irrelevant to the economic debate within the country. Maybe its time for Dutton to take a permanent holiday for all the good he does. He's just back from a two week vacation in the great US of A.

(1) Full employment and growing productivity.

Full employment, pie in the sky BS
Growing Pruductivity, I'll get back to that.

(2) Job security and wages.

You can't expect employers to be offering permanent jobs with holidays in an business environment with this much inflation and uncertainty.

(3) Labour participation and reducing barriers to employment.

You can reskill some of the people, but you can't remove peoples barriers to employment when their barriers are health issues.

(4) A high-quality labour force through skills training and migration.

Skills training is a worthy endeavor, as long as it leads to better outcomes for Australia.
If our best go overseas, it's a waste of money.
If politicians forgive debts without students reaching an outcome, it's double the stupidity.
If we import people with no skills and have to spend money to train them, then we are spending money to change our country and culture.

(5) Maximising opportunities for the industries of the future.

What industries do we even have left now?

David Littleproud and Adam Bandt.
Good they are taking part, nothing will be achieved if politicians don't work together for the greater good.
Doubt they will all agree on anything.
- Dutton's no show. Too busy in meetings for future wars that haven't started yet. He should go.

Labor tried to bring in full employment 80 years ago, and it was just as much BS then as it is now. Going hat in hand and bumcheeks pulled apart to business leaders isn't necessarily going to change things.

If he had a policy that could achieve it, he wouldn't be going grovelling.

I'm the only person I know who ever put forward an idea that would even make it possible.

Step 1. You need a foolproof plan.
If you don't have one, it's likely going to be a waste of time and money and nothing tangible will be achieved.

The coalition left Labor with an unemployment level below 4%, so the only unemployed were the sick, the lame, and the lazy.

The only reason for this talk fest is to spruik their union bosses, free food and virtue signalling. The only jobs created are for the hospitality and catering businesses to feed these slobs.

Labor have typically increase unemployment under their watch and relied on the coalition to bring it back under control.

No other mob likes a summit like Labor does. Yadayadayada for no result whatsoever.

Labor has the expertise, look at the thousands of jobs that they’ve destroyed.

Can see how negative the far right posters are. The Trumpster, the Hansonite, and the Redneck are but three examples.
