A commitment to achieving full employment will be part of the Australian Labor Party’s 2016 federal election platform. Opposition Leader Bill Shorten will address the National Press Club on 16 March, where he will highlight issues such as job security, wage fairness, under-employment and the high jobless rate in some parts of Australia. He will also criticise Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s lack of leadership in addressing issues facing the nation.

Approximately 11,700 jobs were created each month in the Australian Government’s first year in office. During the 2013 election campaign the Coalition committed to a five-year target of creating one million new jobs. The Government seems unlikely to achieve this goal, which would require some 18,000 new jobs to be created each month over the next four years. Economists are divided as to whether the job creation target can be achieved
