The skills crisis and next week’s Jobs and Skills summit are our top story this week. Changes to enterprise bargaining and an increase in migration appear to be the most likely areas of agreement at the summit as the Albanese government looks to address chronic skills shortages and sluggish wages growth by bringing 100 participants together next week in Canberra. The ACTU has floated a plan for sector-wide bargaining to simplify the awards system and allow workers in small business and the care economy to negotiate as a block. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton slammed the proposal and said Sally McManus was a throwback to the 1970s, but this morning there are signs that the proposal could gain traction with the government and small business operators. A lift in migration levels is also likely to be agreed on at the summit with the business lobby demanding an immediate lift to the cap of 160,000 to help fill the more than 450,000 job vacancies currently on offer.

Why? Why did Scott Morrison secretly swear himself in to portfolios including Treasury, Finance, Resources and Home Affairs? Why didn’t he tell the ministers responsible for those portfolios? Why didn’t he tell his loyal deputy and Treasurer Josh Frydenberg that he had sworn himself in to his portfolio prior to last year’s critical budget? And why didn’t he tell his other colleagues, Cabinet or the country? Why did the Nationals allow Morrison to overrule them on the PEP-11 application, seemingly to curry favour with climate-aware voters in coastal seats around Sydney and therefore help the chances of Liberal MPs and candidates in those electorates? And why has he apparently taken on a new job overnight as the CEO of Morrison Memes?
