If you go to the ABS website, there has been only an increase of 300,000 full time jobs in 5 years.
Australia takes in nearly that many migrants every year.
Population has increased by 2 million in 5 years.
There must be a lot of people not participating.
I guess there are one million on the disability support pension.
I have asked many indigenous around Cairns about their welfare payments.
Most get the pension for whatever reason; alcoholics, single mums, but i assume centrelink treat many indigenous differently. They get special treatment.
Exactly what has Turnbull done to create full time jobs for Australians.
33% of Australian workers are employed casual with no employment security.
