Former Labor Party National President Warren Mundine is pessimistic about the federal government’s Jobs and Skills Summit saying it is a rehash of earlier ideas and is unlikely to have any long-term benefit for economic growth.

His comments come after Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, and Treasurer Jim Chalmers locked in the date for the event, a key policy plank for the Labor government.
