The final day of the Albanese Government’s Jobs and Skills Summit will focus on skilled migration, with Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil expected to announce a lift in the annual migration intake from 160,000 a year to about 200,000.

Skills and training for jobs in the future will also be on the agenda, as well as getting more people into work, system-wide changes to boost employment and tackling discrimination.

It comes after a busy day one, where the Government delivered a major coup for unions, unveiling a proposal to allow workers from different firms to band together to press for pay rises.
