As if affirmative action, Women’s lib, immigrant labor and outsourcing isn’t making it difficult enough for white men to find a job.
Bosses urged to employ Muslims
EMPLOYERS will be encouraged to hire Muslims as part of a plan to prevent disaffected young Islamic men being radicalised.
The departments of Employment and Immigration and Multicultural Affairs will join an arm of John Howard's Muslim Community Reference Group to tackle unemployment within Muslim hot spots in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth through workplace programs.
The scheme, which aims to assist Muslim jobseekers to overcome "employment barriers", is outlined in DIMA's draft national action plan, obtained by The Australian. The plan aims to address "threats to Australia's social cohesion, harmony and security".
Andrew Robb, parliamentary secretary to the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs, said integrating young unemployed Muslims into the workforce would help them achieve a sense of belonging.
