LOL.Why dont we have a national unemployment insurance scheme like some Nordic countries?
LOL.
The Libs would run it.
You pay some shelf company every week,contracted by your employer to provide insurance against your unemployment, and then when you are let go because the parent company which owns your employer, a desert based rice farming company, that your tax dollars have subsidised for decades fails, they will tell you are not covered, or fall into bankruptcy themselves.
The Liberal Government then bails out the rice farming company that failed leaving you unemployed in the first place while handing out a few hundred million to the failed insurer as "industry assistance" due to the effect of the poor weather conditions on the rice crop.

You mean $46 a week?Because it would incentivize leaners.
Only bludgers take welfare, because everyone can be rich if they work hard.
That's why all those brown people come here remember, spend tends of thousands of dollars, risk their lives, for the dream of $40 a day

Nut, you're hearts in the right place
We should simply increase the dole and treat everyone equal rather than reward higher income earners over lower income earners when they become unemployed.
I can't fathom why would would reward higher income earners?
I thought this was about the welfare outcome???? …. Why not have system where every contributes to secure their livelihoods? Why not follow a system that works?
I thought this was about the welfare outcome?
personally if one finds themselves unemployed, they should know they are being treated equally and fairly. Paying higher income earners a higher dole or paying higher income earners for a longer period is not what I would call fair.
as highlighted I would prefer the dole was increased along with the pension.
Welfare … security …. Livelihood …. Happier life …. Knowing if you lose your job the world around you doesn’t fall apart.
Lots of people already have income protection … why not have a state funded one where everyone is in it and it’s not for profit?
Think of it like super …. Higher incomes contribute more so they will end up with more.
Same goes with the pension…. Someone who works more years contributes more to the states purse so they deserve more?
There is the incentive to work harder??? To get a better job?
I hear you
but I feel if one is unemployed after earning a low income or high income; they find themselves in the same situation being unemployed. Thus I feel they should receive the same safety net, being the same amount for the same amount of time (unlimited as opposed to being cut off after 52 or 104 weeks).
the pension simply isn't high enough but I guess superannuation is effectively what you seek being a reward for higher income earners going into retirement.
the dole certainly isn't high enough and should be the same as the pension and if one falls under hard times in Oz you can draw down on super under extreme circumstances
I think the system gives you 80% for 2 years… in that time the government will help retrain you into another job.
Like I said why not copy a system that is better and works?
It reduces crime costs and other costs to society associated with poor welfare.
40% more people are on unemployment benefits than are unemployed..Because it would incentivize leaners.
Only bludgers take welfare, because everyone can be rich if they work hard.

New Zealand’s crime is highernew zealand and switzerland have lower crime rates. do they both have this scheme or is it possible their are other factors?
And they eat them … very high omega 3 which is proven to lower the crime rate also… thanks for input.I've heard in these Nordic countries the dolphins come right up on to the sidewalks.
New Zealand’s crime is higher
Switzerland has poverty payments about half the average monthly wage… so yer it’s a massive factor in crime.
