“While the Victorian economy is roaring back to life, many young people are still struggling to find adequate employment. We would like to see a dedicated strategy and investment for getting young people back on their feet with secure jobs.” #youngpeople #employment

‘Young people leaving school or further education in the Covid years will be less likely to get into work; many of those who do will start further down the “career ladder”, ... funnelled into insecure jobs; some will extend their study to delay unemployment.’

“I suppose what surprised me a little bit was that 20 years ago we probably had some better systems in place in young people’s transitions through school,” Chair of @NYCInquiryAU David Eldridge on our youth employment inquiry via @lukehgomes https://t.co/y8Nsq9Ti15

Everyone deserves to live, study + work w/ dignity, no matter what they believe, who they are or whom they love. We’ve joined 90 orgs calling for fair + equal discrimination laws that protect all of us, including ppl of faith + those who aren't religious. https://t.co/kkfQ9pVnLk
