Plenty of jobs out there if you're willing to have a go.

Easier to stay on the dole though.

Update: Australia’s Social Welfare system is to undergo major changes after the Welfare Reform package has just been passed in the Upper House.

Turnbull's LNP Government secured the cross-bench support of Pauline Hanson's One Nation, the Nick Xenophon Team and independents David Leynohjelm, Derryn Hinch and Fraser Annning to win with a 31-29 majority.

Some of the changes coming into effect.

Changes taking effect from July 1, 2018.

* Welfare claimants will generally receive payments from the date they lodge their ‘fully completed’ claim, rather than from the date they first contact Centrelink as is the case now. (Meaning extenuating circumstances such as hospitalisation, fleeing domestic violence situations, homelessness etc is no longer an acceptable reason for not immediately lodging a fully completed claim).

* Job seekers will be encouraged to start looking for work as soon as possible, with their payments only to commence from the date they attend their first appointment with their employment service provider; (Meaning you’re at the mercy of when they will offer you a first appointment).

* The widow allowance will be closed to new entrants and the payment will cease in 2022, when the last of existing recipients will be transferred to the age pension.

Change taking effect from September 20, 2018.

* Job seekers aged 55 to 59 years for their first 12 months on payment will be unable to fully meet their requirements through volunteer work alone.

Change taking effect on March 20, 2020:

* A new JobSeeker Payment will be introduced as the main working age payment, consolidating seven existing payments. (Newstart Allowance, Sickness Allowance, Partner Allowance, Wife Pension, Bereavement Allowance, Widow B Pension and Widow Allowance.)

Clearest explanation to date. Shame Moshie didn't realise that this has already been in the press and in the works for months. Maybe he should join Facebook?

So LNP finally got enough cross benchers. More front page fodder for Murdoch.

Sure there are plenty of jobs but the unemployed person has to met the employer's recruitment criteria and there are fewer roles than candidates available, this is why wage growth is low because we are not experiencing labour shortages, and until we do then wage growth will remain slow.

Sigh. Well they can't get workers so where are these 20 people who are looking for work?

You'd have to assume there's def a % of " job snobs " when it comes to menial jobs.
Those who consider themselves over-qualified for such tasks.

Then you get the teeth of the unemployed - unemployed workers.
Those who could walk straight back into work.


Then there's those who can work , albeit with assistance/allowances made
As in , can work but you couldn't leave them alone with hazardous materials-styles


Then there's the unemployables - spin the wheel to pick your reason why they are.


And then there's the " gamers " - career " bludgers "


Depending on where you get your info or who you allow to do your thinking for you usually determines how you break that pie into %

You can be hard working, punctual and intelligent, and still end up out of a job one day. Plenty of people are more than capable of finding jobs in their own profession within a few weeks of being unemployed, so they don't need to take up your offer of labour jobs and they don't needed to be treated like s**t from centrelink during an extremely tough time in their life. For a lot of professions, taking new job involves two interviews, a medical and job training so you're not going to start for less than a month either.

The average taxpayer gives more to wealthy Australians than Newstart recipients but the government demonises the latter


The tabloids, of course, are dutifully delivering a narrative dictated by government media releases and cherry-picked data. Despite the fact that Australia’s tax and transfer system is the most tightly targeted in the OECD

All the bludgers fault but.



Lazy base-thinking clowns swallow it with glee so they can get their faux-outrage hit and crack half a bar over how great it feels to pump their own tyres up
 
In the old days there were single income family's.
When the dad lost his job, both mum and dad could look for whatever work was around to tide them over until dad got a real job again.

Now we have family's where there may be 2 breadwinners on 40000ish each.
If one loses their job, kiss the house goodbye , there is no safety net, and it can easily take 6 months to find another job.
 
The solution is to start utilising family home space. Move as many low income earners into available housing as possible, be it parents, siblings or grandma's place.

Not sure who started this 'move out from the parental home' movement.

Kids Vicious lives in his mothers basement and is very happy.
