Trish Roberts#auspol #jobseeker #disability Didn’t watch National Press Club talk. Seeing a few questions while I’m doing some sewing. I wonder if she touched at all the issue of people who are disabled, but in the current climate cannot get DSP? Are stuck on Job Seeker instead?
Jude🇵🇸@treleanor Not specifically. But the new system (still 2 years off!) will hopefully scoop them up, in the third of a 3 tiered system (the 3rd tier is for all those with major barriers to employment). IN THEORY.
@sister_ratched IN THEORY. Applies to someone I know. The system is cruel, a bastard.
@treleanor Indeed. And no mention of whether they'll ever lift Jobseeker above the poverty line.
sortius@sister_ratched @treleanor of course they won't. They were told to do it 3 years ago, and didn't just ignore it, they told us "we can't do all the nice things"
@sortius @treleanor Exactly. While ever these things are outsourced, it will continue to be shit.
