COTA Australia’s submission congratulates the signatories on their progress in bedding down the principles of the Energy Charter. We support that some are now targeting actions that move beyond regulatory obligations or ‘business as usual’.
In our submission we voice full support for the AER’s creation of a Guideline that would ensure bills meet the needs of consumers, now and into the future, in an efficient way that minimises cost and enables industry innovation.
COTA Australia welcomed the establishment of the Senate Select Committee on Job Security and appreciates the opportunity to present this submission, with a specific focus on mature age and older workers
Older Australians need a comprehensive plan from the Australian Government, demonstrating that all areas of Government are thinking and acting in a coordinated fashion to improve the lives of mature age and older Australians.
COTA Australia commends the delivery of stimulus measures designed to incentivise employment. COTA Australia does wish to express a number of concerns. No older workers should be displaced due to JobMaker. Wait times and the rate of JobMaker eligibility should be reconsidered.
