New data has revealed families in our community are being crippled by soaring child care fees.

Australians are paying a heavy price for Scott Morrison’s mistakes, with the ABS confirming 138,000 Australians lost their jobs in September and there were more Australians out of work than in August.

According to new documents obtained under Freedom of Information, the flagship policy of Josh Frydenberg’s 2020 federal Budget has supported barely 1 per cent of the 450,000 jobs he promised.

Australia’s Budget has never been weaker than it is right now under the Morrison-Joyce Government, with most of the Coalition’s economic damage inflicted in the seven years before the pandemic. 

The Morrison-Joyce Government has announced they plan on leaving hundreds of thousands of businesses high and dry, following their announcement today to withdraw support to those in locked-down states. 

As lengthy lockdowns continue across large parts of the country, the Morrison-Joyce Government has announced that they are ripping away support from millions of Australians.

As protracted lockdowns which are the direct result of the Morrison-Joyce Government’s failures continue across large parts of the country, these jobs numbers reveal more than 146,000 Australians have fallen out of the jobs market and the number of hours worked collapsed by 66 million. 

As Sydney’s COVID-19 health crisis deepens, working families across the city are hurting as a direct result of the Morrison-Joyce Government’s 18 months of failures on vaccines, quarantine, and economic supports.

Today’s growth numbers show the economy was slowing even before the current lockdowns in Sydney and Melbourne, and things will get worse before they get better.

Josh Frydenberg is up to his neck in the Morrison Government’s shameless $660 million ‘pork and ride’ cash splash, promising four new car parks in his own electorate but delivering none.
