    Act's outlined a new employment insurance scheme, as it pushes for an overhaul of the welfare system

    Act's outlined a new employment insurance scheme, as it pushes for an overhaul of the welfare system


    The policy would allow a taxpayer to claim 55 per cent of their average weekly earnings, if they lost their job.

    It would be capped at 60 thousand dollars a year.
