Realistically, zero chance of a commitment to full employment when the primary commitment of both Labor and LNP is to maintaining economic conditions that guarantee good profits (including super profits) and maximising returns to shareholders. Both those things are antithetical to full employment - which by its nature also, logically, leads to higher wages. This is despite the fact that the failure to redistribute wealth creates a less equal distribution of resources and thus lower growth - because the super rich and corporates would rather maximise short term profit at the expense of long term societal benefit.
