Australia Persuasive Speech Analysis

In surveying Australian film production over the last century, what visibly occurs is a general evasion of Aboriginal issues and an absence of any balanced representation of Australia’s notable Indigenous population. But I need to add, that things are changing. Several recent films seek to redress this imbalance and provide a substantial Indigenous storyline.

Employees are asked to work long hours and take on more duties, yet pay continues to decrease. Many employees opt to replace established employees with new workers, in an effort to save money, and this is only one way in which a person may be penalized for doing nothing wrong.

“I’m going crazy,” “I can’t control myself,” “People are judging me,” “I’m about to die.”

This paper will review and critically evaluate a submission by The Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW). Being put forward to the Senate Education, Employment and workplace Relations Committee in 2012, in reference to “the adequacy of the allowance payment system for jobseekers and others, the appropriateness of the allowance payment system as a support into work and the impact of the changing nature of the labour market.” (Education, Employment and Workplace Relations Reference Committee, 2012).

The Australian Legal System response to the Mabo case has changed greatly ever since the first time it was introduced. Many different acts were introduced and/or amended as a result of this case. The effectiveness of the law and the law reform in protecting the rights of individual and society at large is demonstrated throughout this essay.

In our modern society one of the seemingly least controversial topics is the minimum wage. The popular opinion wants to raise the minimum wage, but is the popular opinion always right? Throughout recent years, politicians have made promises to raise the minimum wage to help low-income earners live a better life. Contrary to popular belief, raising the minimum wage actually hurts low-income earners and low-skilled workers. We must first define a low-skilled worker. A low-skilled worker does not mean that particular employee is not intelligent; it simply refers to a worker who cannot perform as efficiently due to low educational attainment. Through this paper, I hope to inform you, Mr. Randall L. Stevenson, and our company, AT&T, about the disadvantages of raising the minimum wage.

Accompanied by an already ridiculing tone, the author, Karen Matthews quickly asserts her main contention with the title ‘Penalty rates cut to hit workers hard, while rorting MPs have snout in trough’ in an article published on the 4th of March, 2017. Matthews also includes a political cartoon entailing hypocrisy and inequality between two figures who are affected by the issue at hand. Throughout the article, the writer argues that the reduction in penalty rates is harmful, and incorporates the cartoon to support the same contention in a simpler and more visual form.

essay the author claimed it is unfair for hardworking Australians who contribute the most to receive the least in benefits. Instead a system designed to help people in need should be expunged with the burden to be transferred to their families. Throughout the essay, it was clearly one-sided with no good moral principles outlined. The prevalence of arguments rejecting welfare based on the small percentage of ‘dole bludgers,’ who mis-use the system is invalid. Based on these false pretences, the normative conclusion was that the welfare system should be abolished. The purpose of this reflection is to review the ethical dimensions explicitly and implicitly contained in the essay to determine if this a moral judgement or one merely made from a bias point of view. Furthermore, if any other ethical principles applied to the case and if this could of provided a stronger basis for the abolition of welfare. If there is a moral principle it would be an appeal to fairness, that is the right thing to do is what allows people to keep their own hard earned money.

The debate whether the government should raise the minimum wage has been challenged for many years and it is crucial to deliberate the ethical facets of such a conundrum. Research and economic texts have reported over many years that it is perhaps very difficult to

Now I shall analyse the impact of the national minimum wages act 1998 on the 2 employment contracts of the company New Forrest logistics. This act is an important piece of legislation that the company is advised to follow very closely. This act sets the minimum wage levels an employee is entitled to per hour in accordance with the age group the employee falls under. The current wage of those falling under the group of 21 and above is £6.08 and that falling under the group of 18 to 20 is equal £4.98. This legislation will obviously have an impact on both the contracts of employment drawn by New Forrest logistics as they will have to state in the contract what wages they will pay the concerned employees. Thus they will need to ensure that they abide by the act and pay the employees the correct wages in accordance with the age group. If they violate the legislation, they will be liable legal action.

Critically speaking minimum wage increases poverty and unemployment and thus damages to business at times. However, despite its drawbacks, minimum wages has some benefits too. In this essay the comparison of minimum wage of between the two countries; United States of America and Australia and the benefits of the minimum wage will be under discussion.

In the technical sense, penalty rates are a form of tangible benefit within the financial context which generally refers to those payments made to workers outside normal working hours. Regulator motivations for including penalty rates in modern awards as stated by (Sloane, 2014) are twofold: firstly, to compensate workers for work performed during what was historically known as ‘unsociable hours’ and secondly, to dissuade employers from operating within those hours. However, as advocated by (Sheldon & Thornthwaite, 2013) the modern award reviews have ‘provided a forum for employers and their associations to escalate their campaign to the significance of penalty rates in industries operating during the traditionally ‘unsociable hours’, which is evidence that employer associations prefer to enhance managerial prerogative over productivity which is predominantly concerned with the cost of resources. The push for the examination of provisions regarding penalty rates has mostly been seen to affect the tourism and retail industries.

In the article “A Fresh Look at Labour Markets”, John Humphreys disputes that all decisions made about minimum wage laws to be based upon the cost that the employers have to consider when hiring and the benefits that the employee should get when they are hired. The article brings up the issue of one of the key problems with the Australian economic system. In the beginning of the article, the author shows how economic norms are similar to scientific methods. The author claims that like what a scientist does to understand what happens when a chemical reaction does, an economist does when a cause and effect happens in an economic curve.

Hence, the strong presumption must be that the existing complex mix of both formal and informal terms of employment is optimal. A heavy burden of proof rests on anyone who asserts or implies that underpayment (or overwork) is such a chronic problem in the real-world US labor market that the federal government should make a change to those employment terms. Thus, it is significant that the DOL offers no evidence that EAP workers with a salary up to $50,440 are consistently harmed in a manner that, according to economic theory, can be remedied by a government-imposed change in the terms of their employment. Pointing out that the salary threshold for exemption from the federal regulation for mandated overtime pay has not changed for many years does nothing to meet the burden of proof that must be met by those who endorse regulatory change premised on a major malfunction of the US labor
