The document stated the JobMaker credit "does not create an incentive for an employer to replace an older worker with several part-time workers". But the words were directly below a table that showed the opposite.
Internal Treasury emails, talking points and an 'issues register' listing problems with the scheme went further, outlining how employers could benefit from axing high-wage jobs and suggesting the department will "need to confirm" if the scheme is even legal under laws that aimed to prevent age discrimination. ..."
