Welcome to Coronavirus Government Global Briefing, Mandarin Premium’s morning update on everything in local and global government responses to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Why did the NTEU scrap its jobs framework?

The National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) has announced it will abandon the proposed National Jobs Protection Framework (JPF), a plan to save 12,000 university jobs in the face of more than $4.5 billion in revenue shortfalls.

Launched 12 May but flagged to members in mid-April, the JPF was designed in negotiation with the the Australian Higher Education Industry Association (AHEIA) to ensure any laid off workers would receive 3o-50% of their regular pay.
