@alittlethought.bsky.socialReposted by @antipovertycentre.orgShe earns more in a week than a job seeker gets in a year.
@antipovertycentre.orgWe would argue someone so callous and dismissive of the human misery she causes is worth much less than any unemployed person.
@antipovertycentre.orgShe is paid by the public 60x the JobSeeker rate. What makes her 60x more valuable than the people she has trapped in poverty?

@binchicken9000.bsky.socialReposted by @antipovertycentre.orgThinking about Amanda Rishworth's announcement a few months ago about replacing the "one size fits all" unemployment system. I think it's worth writing down how it currently works. Thing is, I'm not 100% sure myself. I'm in my own bit of it. Please correct if necessary. Apologies if it gets long.
@antipovertycentre.orgYou are 100% correct

@myfreecats.comReposted by @antipovertycentre.orgI've said it many times before, but I couldn't even get the time or space to start healing my mind until after I got past the 35 year barrier. At that point they stop forcing people on the dsp into their stupid mutual shit as much Now imagine if I could've worked on myself earlier
@vyv.bsky.socialReposted by @antipovertycentre.orgBut it is also the money.
Austudy, centrelink, dsp - all are well below liveable amounts & need to at LEAST meet the poverty line.
@vyv.bsky.socialReposted by @antipovertycentre.orgIt’s not even just the money - it’s the ENORMOUS stress people are put under to jump through busywork hoops of the private ‘job services’ to keep the unemployed on their kpi books for commission. This is a public system propping up private companies at the expense of actual human lives.
@antipovertycentre.orgWe would love to however it’s a bit more time intensive than you’d think and we stretched extremely thin 😢
