Australia's unemployment rate stayed at 4.4 percent in June, according to the latest Labour Force data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

A step towards giving volunteer firefighters the same ACC protection as fulltimers.

Labour MP Kieran McAnulty's Accident Compensation Amendment Bill has been drawn from Parliament's biscuit tin today.

The legislation would extend cover for work-related injuries and illnesses to volunteers.
