    How the ACT has defied Australia's high unemployment rate - SBS News

    When the recession first hit and unemployment soared around Australia, the ACT defied the nationwide job trend, recording a slight decrease in the jobless rate. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) recorded a drop in the ACT’s unemployment rate of just 0.1 points to 4.1 per cent in May. This compared to a national unemployment rate of 7.1 per cent, helped by the resilience of Australia’s public service (APS). With thousands of its workers enlisted to support the nation&#x…

    Why culturally-specific support for Indigenous families is crucial ...

    Daen Lomas knows what it’s like to hit rock bottom.   The Gamilaraay man from Walgett in northern New South Wales turned to drugs and alcohol to mask the trauma of his past – a dangerous path he says almost led to his incarceration.  “I've been on the verge of going to jail, in and out of mental institutions, I self-medicated and used certain drugs and alcohol,” the 30-year-old told SBS News.  “I felt, as a child, when I stood up and sa…

    New migrants are vital to Australia, but will the budget prioritise...

    Rahim Zaidi started the Ghan Kilburn City Football Club in 2002 so young Hazara Afghans had a community they could be a part of while integrating into Australian life. In almost two decades, it's grown from 22 members to 150, with teams across the junior, men’s and women’s divisions. Mr Zaidi said the club, which shares its ground with the local Australian rules football team, has helped to strengthen ties within the wider community. “When I start, I don’t know l…

    'We are here alone': Stranded Australians in India frustrated about...

    Australians stranded in India prevented from boarding a repatriation flight say they're frustrated with the government's screening process, as it emerges some passengers barred from the flight have since tested negative for coronavirus. The flight - the first since the government’s controversial India travel ban lapsed - was supposed to bring back 150 Australians but returned home half-empty on Saturday after dozens of people tested positive to COVID-19. Satinder Sarna and her…

    When the coronavirus pandemic first hit and Victoria went into lockdown last year, Hassan Jaber’s work as an Uber driver dried up almost overnight. Like millions of Australians, Mr Jaber was desperate for financial help and went to his tax agent for assistance. “I asked him if I am eligible for JobKeeper and my tax agency advised me that yes, I am eligible,” he told SBS News. Mr Jaber said the Australian Taxation Office also advised him to apply, and if he didn’t qual…

    John Howard has criticised Kevin Rudd's 2008 apology to the Stolen ...

    Former prime minister John Howard says the national apology to the Stolen Generations was "meaningless" and he stands by his decision not to consider a treaty with Indigenous Australians. Kevin Rudd delivered the formal apology as prime minister on 13 February 2008 to Australia’s Indigenous peoples and particularly to the Stolen Generations who were impacted by previous government policies of forced child removal and Indigenous assimilation. The 2001 Cabinet records, releas…

    Former prime minister John Howard led Australia into the war in Afghanistan 20 years ago but says a military presence should have remained in the country until everyone who helped Australian troops could have been flown out. In a wide-ranging interview with SBS News marking the release of the 2001 Cabinet records, Mr Howard also stuck by his decision to begin Australia's offshore detention regime and defended the lack of discussion about women in his Cabinet. Mr Howard, now 82, was prime mi…

    On the campaign trail with Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese: Wee...

    Here is how the first week of the campaign unfolded: Opposition leader Anthony Albanese stumbled out of the gates on Monday, floundering over the unemployment rate and the cash rate at his first press conference. Mr Albanese was campaigning in the seat of Bass, centred on Launceston in Tasmania, one of the most marginal seats in the country when he was asked about what the official figures were, and he was unable to answer. Mr Albanese later apologised for his mistake, saying “I made a mi…
