A detailed strategy has been developed to stimulate employment in Australia that specifically targets private viable businesses with a record of honesty. The strategy allows the business to employ as many people as they require and can afford.

The strategy has been developed because it has been considered that "unemployment is not the problem; affordability of employment is the problem."

The program provides a strong incentive to increase the number of employees without reducing the wages or conditions of current employees. the new employees are paid wages or better without subsidy from the Government.

The program shows that under this system the employer will pay only a small amount of increased wages, the employee will receive award wages, the employee will receive award wages and the Government will make a nett profit on the arrangement. The employer claims the benefit within the tax return of the business with minimal supervisory costs to the business or the Government has reviewed it within Treasury and approved the program.

An appointment with the Federal Treasurer is currently being arranged by the Premier so that a delegation can meet with him and request this program be commenced in Tasmania to assess its viability.
