Dear sihong
Jobs Forum
Core at the heart of Labor values is the right to work, and the dignity and prosperity that comes from having a job.
It’s why the Government is focused on creating jobs, and making sure people have the skills they need to get the jobs they want. Nearly 750,000 new jobs have been created since November 2007, with 140,000 more Australians employed today than there was 12 months ago.
Continued economic growth over the next two years should see around another 500,000 jobs be created in that timeframe. This week business, union and community leaders came together to talk with the Government about ways to create jobs.
The transformation in our economy brings challenges, but also great opportunities. We’ve got a great opportunity through the resources boom and beyond to strengthen our economy for the future so that we emerge with a diversified economy: high skill, high wage, clean energy, high productivity jobs.

Tax Forum
Business, union and community group leaders came together this week in Canberra to talk about tax reform. There was a robust discussion of ideas and a genuine appreciation that reform is hard, but worthwhile.
On top of our 32 existing reforms the Labor Government has made we’ve found enough common ground to support more ambitious reforms.
For more information about the Tax Forum you can watch Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer Wayne Swan’s opening address here or visit www.futuretax.gov.au .

Treasurers’ Economic Note
Each week Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer Wayne Swan sends out an Economic Note to keep you up to date with the most recent economic news and informed about what lies ahead for Australia.
This week Treasurer Wayne Swan writes about the personal benefits that everyday Australians receive from tax reform and outlines the increased payments that pensioners, working mothers, construction workers and many others receive due to reforms by the Gillard Government. He speaks of the tax forum held this week and how it will let everybody have their say about future priorities and directions for reform. He discusses the core Labor value of creating opportunities for more Australians and much more. Read the Economic Note here.
Agenda In Focus
Labor is helping families with the cost of living.
We delivered the Education Tax Refund – providing up to $794 a year for eligible parents of secondary students, for education expenses like uniforms, textbooks and trade tools.
We increased the Child Care Rebate – to 50 percent of out-of-pocket child care expenses, providing families up to $7,500 per child per year.
We brought in Paid Parental Leave – eligible working parents paid up to 18 weeks at minimum wage.
And we increased the pension – since September 2009, Labor’s pension reforms have delivered extra payments worth around $148 per fortnight for singles and $146 per fortnight for couples combined.
Labor’s carbon price plan also helps with living costs – 9 in 10 households to get tax cuts, pension or payment rises to help with living costs when carbon prices come in.
And we reject the Liberal Party “direct action” plan, which would cost $1,300 a household with no compensation or assistance for those in need.
The last Liberal Government was the highest taxing in history, and did nothing for families struggling with bills.
Only Labor cares about the cost of living. And only Labor has delivered in reducing living costs for Australian workers, families and retirees.

While Not As Popular As The NRL Grand Final, Tax Is Important Too
Wayne Swan posted Wednesday, 5 October 2011
