Today’s latest data! Victoria newly diagnosed 113 cases, 12 people died unfortunately

We have previously reported that 300 international students will return to Adelaide in September.
Now, the South Australian government and the federal government are negotiating the final details.
The plan may be approved in the next few days. However, South Australia Governor Marshall did not disclose more details.

However, Marshall assured the government that the government is finalizing a plan to welcome international students back to Australia. They are still monitoring the epidemic in various countries and Australia.
In addition to finalizing the list of countries/regions they will come from, the government must also determine the exact date of entry for these students.

It was previously reported that international students returning to Australia are expected to transfer to Australia from Singapore, and students are expected to choose from mainland China, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
After arriving in Adelaide, they must complete a two-week quarantine before returning to campus.
Between March and June 2020, only 130 international students have arrived in Australia.
Earlier, some Australian media took the lead, saying that 80% of locals opposed the entry of Australian students.

Now, on Twitter, overseas students in Australia have also joined forces to tell their needs. “We are not tourists, we are just students.”

According to Australian media reports, the Australian government is preparing to cut university tuition, and the cost of social work and psychology degrees will no longer increase significantly.
Under the new “Graduate” program, the cost of humanities, communications, social and literature degrees has more than doubled from A$6,684 per year to A$14,500 per year.

Behavioral science and clinical psychology courses were originally included in this category, but the government finally decided to limit their cost to $7,950 per year.

The Minister of Junior High School Education Andrew Gee is concerned that this may result in fewer mental health nurses being trained, especially in regional areas.
“These amendments will help bridge the gap between rural communities and cities, including differences in education levels and access to services such as mental health.”

Education Minister Danthan said: “After listening to the constructive feedback provided during the consultation process, we have made changes to the legislation.” The law was approved by the Joint Joint Conference Room on Tuesday.

Opposition education spokeswoman Tanya Plibersek said: “Morrison abandoned plans to make it more difficult and expensive for Australians to go to school.”
The new fees are designed to encourage students to pursue majors with stronger employment needs.
The annual cost of education, nursing, mathematics and language degrees is almost halved to A$3,950. The latest professional fees are as follows:
Australia’s epidemic control has begun to show results, and I hope that the international students will get what they want and come back soon~

50,000 people will flock to Melbourne next weekend! The vaccine can’t hold back
The Parade of Hundreds is just a small fight

Ten thousand people marching on the road

Conspiracy theorists in Australia are organizing large-scale gatherings on social media, attempting to recruit 500,000 marchers, threatening Victoria to lift the blockade, and the governor will step down!

The parade is called “Freedom Day” and is expected to be held on September 5th. Now 35,000 people have said they will participate, and 23,000 people have clicked “interest”. In other words, 58,000 supporters have now been recruited

Organizers encouraged participants to wear masks. Although they claimed that this would be a peaceful demonstration, they called on everyone not to be afraid of fines.
Someone wore a mask during a parade in May.

The organizer of the event, Fanos Panayides, was detained by the police on May 10.

This event will be mainly held in Melbourne, but Sydney also has a “branch venue”-Hyde Park, and 80 people have signed up. The Victorian police are currently closely monitoring the activities of the organization, but based on experience, it may be difficult to completely kill them in the cradle.
Melburnians will not go out next week. If so many people participate in the parade, there will be a third wave of backlash.
If it is blocked again, Victoria will soon be unable to hold on. There are so many applicants, which shows that there are really many rebellious Victorians. They make Victoria’s hope of a quick fight become a luxury.

Halfway through the fourth-order lockdown, Victoria has yet to control daily diagnoses to less than 50 cases. Yesterday the state government proposed to extend the state of emergency, whether it is to continue for six months or one year, it will be a big blow to Victorians.
Victorians can hold on with bravery, but our lives will only be harder

According to the latest business impact survey released by the ABS, in the past month, 41% of all Victorian enterprises have continued to decline in revenue and 22% have increased operating expenses;

In the future, more than 35% of Australian companies will have difficulty in fulfilling their financial commitments within three months, among which small companies will be twice as difficult as large companies; 28% of Australian companies will continue to lose revenue next month.
The winter for enterprises is far from over, which means that unemployment and depression are still ahead. If the blockade continues to be extended and social problems intensify, I am afraid that various protests and demonstrations will continue to occur.

The editor reminds everyone that the epidemic has not passed. You must treat the epidemic rationally. While protecting yourself, don’t blindly participate in the demonstration. In order to pursue the so-called “human rights”, people are gone. Are there still human rights?

Victoria’s Belt and Road Initiative may be abolished

The new outbreak in Victoria today hit a new low, which is undoubtedly good news. But at the same time, there is also a huge bad news coming to Victoria!

Late last night, ABC suddenly exposed a huge thunder: the “Belt and Road” cooperation agreement signed by Victoria and China may be abolished by the federal government!
According to the ABC report: The Australian Federal Government is currently planning to formulate a new bill called the Foreign Relation Bill (Foreign Relations Act), which will provide:
All Australian states, territories and local governments, as well as any agreements reached between all public universities and foreign countries, must be bound by the federal government!
Specifically, they must report and announce to the Federal Government, and accept the review of the Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs. If the federal side believes that any foreign agreements are suspected of harming Australia’s national interests, or even threatening Australia’s national security, the federal foreign minister will have the right to abolish these agreements!

And as long as individuals think about it, they will know that if this bill is passed, then almost 100% of the brunt will be the “Belt and Road” agreement between Victoria and China!

In 2019, the Victorian government joined the Chinese-led “One Belt One Road” plan for the first time. Once this decision was made, it triggered a flood of criticism in Australia!

Not only was it strongly opposed by the Federal Government, it was not even supported by the Victorian Government’s own artificial party.

The federal government has been slow to act, and it also suffers from the lack of corresponding legal means.

It can be said that the new law to be promoted this time is to plug this “loophole” so that the federal government has absolute control over all foreign-related issues!

According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) report on the 27th, Australian Prime Minister Morrison said on the same day that a new bill will be introduced in the Federal Parliament next week to give the federal government new powers to veto or abolish the agreement reached between the state government and foreign governments. protocol. Many Australian media believe that this move refers to the agreement related to the “Belt and Road” initiative signed between China and Victoria, and may add haze to the tension between China and Australia.
ABC reported that according to the new bill proposed by Morrison, if existing agreements signed by states, territories, local municipalities and universities with foreign countries are deemed to be detrimental to Australia’s diplomatic relations or are inconsistent with the country’s foreign policy, the Minister of Foreign Affairs can Terminate it. According to the report, more than 130 agreements between Australia and 30 countries will be reviewed. The “Belt and Road” agreement signed between Victoria and China is an example. Australia’s “Canberra Times” reported on the 27th that Morrison denied that the purpose of the new bill was to target China or to annul a particular agreement, but he did not give a clear answer as to whether it would cancel the “Belt and Road” initiative between Victoria and China. Agreement. Australian Deputy Prime Minister McCormack told reporters that day, “The Prime Minister and the State of Victoria discussed the impact of this law on the Belt and Road agreement. We want to ensure that all agreements reached must be in the national interest.” On the other hand, Australian Foreign Minister Payne told the ABC on the 27th that China’s lease in Darwin Port will not be reviewed due to the introduction of the new law, because the scope of the new law does not include commercial agreements between companies.

The British “Guardian” reported on the 27th that Victoria Governor Andrews made sharp criticisms of Morrison’s new bill. He said that the memorandum signed with China is very important to the state’s employment. Andrews said that although foreign affairs are the federal government’s business, a large part of his work as governor is to “increase employment opportunities, send Victorian products overseas, help companies make more profits, and provide more jobs. “. ABC also mentioned that the agreement signed between Western Australia and China may also be affected by the new law. The then Governor Barnett, who signed the agreement, said that the new bill was “one of the most retrogressive measures since the establishment of the Federation”. It will not only further damage the already tense relationship with China, Australia’s important trading partner, but also directly damage it. The economic benefits of Western Australia.

In response to reports that the above-mentioned bill may affect the “Belt and Road” initiative, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian stated at a regular press conference on the 27th that the “Belt and Road” initiative is an economic cooperation initiative that always adheres to the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, and advocates openness, The spirit of tolerance and transparency has brought tangible benefits to the people along the route. The successful cooperation between China and the State of Victoria in Australia under the framework of the “Belt and Road” has greatly enhanced the well-being of the people of both sides. The Australian side should treat China-Australia cooperation and the “Belt and Road” initiative objectively and rationally, and should not create artificial obstacles to normal exchanges and cooperation between China and Australia.

JobKeeper2.0 will be officially launched next month!

Starting on September 28, the JobKeeper subsidy of A$1500 every two weeks will be reduced to A$1200, and those part-time employees may receive even less subsidies.

It’s really miserable! How can we still get the same level or even more subsidies after the government subsidy reform?

The editor specially opened a detailed post to teach you how to squeeze the wool.

1. You can apply for JobKeeper and JobSeeker at the same time

Although from September 28, JobKeeper will be reduced from A$1500 to A$1200 every two weeks, but JobKeeper applicants are also eligible to apply for JobSeeker.

This is because their income will be below the threshold of A$1256 per fortnight for unemployment benefits.

Currently, those who enjoy a range of benefits are eligible for the new crown virus subsidy, which is currently 550 Australian dollars, but will be reduced to 250 Australian dollars every two weeks.
Starting from the end of September, JobKeeper claimants can also apply for a JobSeeker subsidy of A$250, which means their total subsidy will reach A$1450.

2. The provisions of the Fair Labor Law still apply

The government revised the Fair Labor Law during the epidemic, providing business owners with greater flexibility to change workers’ working conditions.

These adjustments mean that employers can reduce working hours, relocate employees to different workplaces, and flexibly arrange employees’ work responsibilities.
According to the Australian Financial Review, some companies that are no longer eligible to apply for JobKeeper due to increased turnover are still eligible for exemptions from the Fair Labor Act if they can prove that they are still in “financial distress”.

James Pearson, chief executive of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, defended these interim measures, saying that they have proved effective.

He said that the strong feedback we have received is that self-employed, small businesses and large employers have taken action to make ends meet and allow Australians to keep their jobs.

3. You are still obligated to go to work

During the epidemic, one of the biggest problems reported by Australian employers is that people looking for work do not come to work, especially those employers who rely on temporary workers.
Tamsin Lawrence, Deputy Director of Workplace Relations of the Australian Federation of Industry and Commerce, said employers must still subsidize JobKeeper to employees.

She said that it is important to remember that whether employees accept JobKeeper or not, they must perform their obligations under the labor contract.

This includes continuing to work and obeying any reasonable requests made by the employer.

4. JobKeeper subsidies will be divided into two levels

From September 28, employees who work more than 20 hours a week will receive a fortnightly subsidy of A$1,200.

For those who work less than 20 hours, the initial JobKeeper subsidy of A$1500 has been reduced to A$750 every two weeks.

Workers currently employed, resigned or re-employed during this period are entitled to this payment.

From January 4, for eligible employees who work more than 20 hours, JobKeeper will again be reduced to A$1,000 every two weeks, and for employees who have not more than 20 hours, it will be reduced to A$650 every two weeks.
The federal government proposes to revise this rule for Victorians who are still in lockdown.

If employees do not meet the conditions of JobSeeker, they can also get additional income subsidies through Centrelink to help basic living costs.

They are subject to financial status checks, which means they are determined based on factors such as assets, spouse income, and living arrangements.

The government provides income subsidies in a range of areas, including rent support, parenting expenses, disability support and partner allowances.

Service Australia warns that people who receive additional benefits need to declare their and their partner’s income to avoid receiving debts that need to be repaid.
