10 years ago, 18-year old Josh Park-Fing died at his forced labour #WorkfortheDole site in #Toowoomba.
Despite a court finding that Josh's Work for the Dole site did not meet basic safety standards, neither the government nor his for-profit privately owned employment service provider #NEATO were held accountable.
Josh's family weren't even provided normal workers compensation as Josh was technically not an 'employee'. -

Raising Jobseeker to $80 per day—in line with the Raise the Rate campaign—and indexing it to keep up with wages would cost $9.5 billion per year.
This a fraction of the cost of superannuation tax concessions ($50 billion per year) or the Capital Gains Tax discount ($15 billion), both of which mainly benefit the richest Australians.

Did you know that #Centrelink answers less than one out of every four calls?

Remember how Centrelink was so deliberately bad in those terrible old Liberal days?
Now it is Labor's days & things are worse. [Gosh no-one knew that would happen did they?]
Thanks to the Australian Unemployed Workers Union, #Centrestink allows you to report your interactions or lack of interactions with them.

This policy is a joke and blatantly unfair by sheer 'luck of the draw'.
The shutdown will also affect participants with reporting obligations due after January 2 2023.
If that's you, please email us, we are marshalling complaints and media interest.
Merry Xmas, Tony Burke

🚨 #MutualObligations are SUSPENDED for all programs from today (19/12/22) until 2/1/2023.
Until 2/1/2023 you are not required to engage with your provider, or undertake any activities.
The #AUWU hotline will shut during this period and reopen 3/1/2023.
Further, any 'mutual' obligations you have due should have their due date suspended by 14 days. For example, if you had a job search due on 6/1/2023 that should now be due 20/1/2023.
Please get in touch with [email protected] if that hasn't happened.
