The Australian government has announced a $630 million package aimed at boosting pay in the female-dominated care sector, according to live political coverage. The announcement comes as the Greens party faces internal disagreement over the question of providing weapons to Ukraine.
Details on how the $630 million will be distributed across the care sector, including specific job categories or timelines for implementation, were not outlined in the available coverage.
Separately, the coverage noted debate over Nationals Senator Matt Canavan's description of Josh Frydenberg's recent media appearances as a "festival of Josh," referring to the former treasurer's publicity tour to promote his new memoir. Canavan dismissed the suggestion that the coverage amounted to a distraction, instead describing it as a welcome contribution to policy debate.
The live blog format reflects an ongoing day of political developments in Australia, with further updates expected as the day continues.
