Grade dole recipients based on their skills, with unskilled recipients having to apply for more jobs than professionals because there are more of the former jobs than the latter - and cap at 25 or so, with a minimum of 10. It also curtails the phenomenon that you are so sceptical about below.
Hey, it happens.
I guess you're talking about the people who've been within the system for years and know how to exploit administrative incompetence?
Still, how do they get re-engaged with no penalty, unless the DHS/Jobactive agency screwed up first?
Well, these are some ideas. Staff Centrelink properly, deal with the bludgers on a case-by-case basis, and raise Newstart so that the vast majority of genuine job-seekers can survive. Also scrap WFTD and reform Jobactive if possible (if not, then also scrap). Should it be reformed, Jobactive must be made up of firms with actual business and recruitment expertise. The money saved from scrapping WFTD, plus increased GST receipts, will go a long way towards paying for increasing Newstart. Then re-assess.
So because you have more skills than others you shouldn’t have to lower yourself to do menial tasks even though these still pay better than the dole??? Yeah that will work...
It’s got nothing to do with exploiting administrative incompetence it’s the way Centrelink is set up that the second someone is cut off even if they cop an 8 week non payment period they can cry poor and get their benefits straight back on the basis they can’t survive without the dole so overall there is no deterrent for non compliance.
So u want less job search and no work for the dole?? So less requirements to receive more money?? If anything the dole should be lowered further to push people towards work not raised so more people
Decide f it.. I’m going to do nothing at all....
