I'm guessing the beurocrat is going to be judged on what the financial scorecard says and not the effectiveness of the scheme...

Got it in one. I'm sure they will be qualified professionals doing the assessment, they will be qualified professionals with KPIs linked to how many assessments they churn through and it will be probably unstated but made completely clear to them that their contract depends upon approval percentages and average dollar spend per "client."

Basically a high-rent version of being in a call centre where number of calls and time per call are the only criteria keeping someone in work, not how good they are with "clients" or how much help they are able to provide.

There's a seemingly endless pot of gold for this government to waste on franking credits or mining subsidies but when it comes the most needy suddenly government resources become sparing.
I can't wait to sit back after a lifetime of working hard and being smart collecting my FC cash refunds.

They did this in the UK. Absolutely destroyed people. Look up PIP assessments.

Yeah, as if this was ever going to be restricted to people turning down jobs.


that smarmy bitch said:
At the time, Senator Cash said the hotline was for employers to report people who failed “to accept suitable employment”. She later told Senate estimates the hotline would cover “spam applications that waste employers’ resources and crowd out genuine applicants” and people who quit their jobs without a valid reason.

So if I submit an application for something I've not done before but I'm interested in, I could be dobbed in for "resume spamming"... * 'em.
 
Which one these dumb campaigners think is gonna be held accountable if , for arguments sake , there's a personality clash during the interview, employer dobs applicant in , applicant loses their money then applicant goes back and kills said employer ???
 
So it’s apply for jobs, even if there are no suitable jobs, but don’t apply for jobs you can’t get, don’t look sideways at the potential employer, take whatever conditions they offer...

It’s a big end run around worker rights: get them scared before they even arrive at the interview. Prime then to accept whatever conditions the employer offers. Then if they complain, point out they agreed to this shitty deal so suck it up. And remind them they can’t quit “without good reason”.

10000000000000000% they will protect the identity of the anonymous dobber. You will not be allowed to know who, only that you have "failed to meet your obligations". It then becomes a lottery as to which of the 20 applications you did this month was the guilty party.

Unless you walked out of a job after having discovered how shitful it or your management/workmates were.

Instead of things like making people spam a load of pointless job applications the one mutual obligation there actually should be is that you have to send your kids to school regularly.

How is the poverty loop be broken if their children grow up to be adults not able to even read an write? It's simply nuts.

If they cut a person's payments they MUST substantiate the reasons for it.

They must tell you the reason/s they have stopped/cut your payments. Anonymous tipoff won't stand up at the AAT.

Because it's good for the country, it's good for the kids and it's good for parents. No reason apart from them.

You could debate the "good for the kids thing" big time.
Of course its good for the parents.
And of course, if all the childcare was free, we could give all those underpaid childcare workers a pay rise ( could never happen when parents have to foot the bill ).

Why not have free meals for those annoying little rug rats as well?
Why should they cost something?
