You don't pay the 'Work-for-the-dole' participants minimum wage? That's slavery!
They're WORKERS not SLAVES and they're entitled to the same rights & protections as everyone else in Australia.

@kentparkstreet1 I want the government to presume, for the sake of everyone's well being, that ALL recipients of assistance do EVERYTHING they can to get off it.

If you reckon someone is not? Well, goodness, that's quite an accusation - prove it to a judge.
[years pass]
Proved it?
OK, then give the person food and shelter, and take away the dole, if you must, you selfish PHascist fucker.

Also, I agree #RaiseTheRate

Unemployed Australians aren’t on parole.

Our government has no right to compel them to do anything.

Let’s start from the point of unemployed people being equal citizens, then adding any assistance from there.

It would be great if they’d #RaiseTheRate It’s very clear it’s not JobSeekers walking around the halls of Parliament House with all access lobbyist passes. Maybe we’d all be housed if more did? A harmful budget, wilfully choosing to harm rather than help the poorest. #Budget2026 #auspol

Bluesky needs polls. Who else would be happy to forgo their $250 to #RaiseTheRate? #Auspol.

Well for me $250 makes not a lot of difference. But for someone on Jobseeker $250 makes a big difference. How about he uses that money to #RaiseTheRate. Make significant impact to people who really need it. #Auspol.

Why Chalmers's budget will rei...
Why Chalmers will rein in the property free-for-all in tonight's budget

After being rejected twice by an electorate that didn't want to give up lucrative tax arrangements on property, the Albanese government has sniffed the breeze and decided the time is ripe for change.

HEYHEYHEY It's FAAAT #Albo
And I ain't gonna do anything.
Mansion on the cliffs like I'm a King.
I'll have some fun now, livin' at your expense.
Countin' all my dollars,
While you're all scraping cents.
