No, that's completely wrong.
He said it should go UP by 40-50% ie about 6% - which is still low by Australian standards.
Unemployment averaged 8% in the 1980s and 10% in the 1990s.
We're trying to reduce the numbers of hours a person has to work.
We talk about the end of paid work being mandatory for survival.

I don't know what parallel universe this idiot is living in but nothing has changed over here. People know they work for an employer, we sure as hell know the employer doesn't give a rat's arse about their employees, we'd like them to, but we know they don't.
What's he on about?
Anyway he's a property developer so I think that perhaps his opinion is somewhat biased, and therefore should be ignored.
Or maybe it’s really just time to eat the rich?
Yeah, let's see how many of these guys survive when unemployment is at 50% and people are starving and desperate.
"Eat the rich" will become a much more literal rallying cry.
Wow that guy looks like a creep
While the guy is an asshole, your title is grade A bullshit and a warping of his actual words.
He said a jump of 40-50%, meaning that if there's 5% unemployment, he wants to push it to 7,5%.
His whole talk is horrible and disgusting enough without you misrepresenting it.
The math here is good point to be aware of and as stated doesn't preclude that the guy is an asshole for wanting to put even a small percentage of people out of work just so he can raise his assholery to tyrannical proportions. Increasing human suffering to teach people who want to have a better life a lesson. What a cartoon villain.
Big Fight Club moment.
He'd go well with some rosé wine and sauteéd onions on the side.

The Fed and the federal government will give him exactly what he wants.
