Major jobseeking changes are days away, but no one's been able to tell Emma exactly what they mean for her

The Australian Unemployed Workers Union is similarly unconvinced and has been fielding enquiries from jobseekers in "sheer confusion and panic".

The AUWU has called for a 90-day payment suspension amnesty so that nobody loses income while they get used to the new system during a cost-of-living crisis. Disability Employment Services works in roughly the same way as jobactive and has about 300,000 participants who also need to undergo mutual obligations.

DES participant Naomi Thompson isn't convinced the new program will be much better than the existing one.

Simple Emma … go find a job. Pack groceries, pick fruit, wash cars … yeah?

NAIRU (Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment) explained by the RBA. This should be the story. Why punish people for being unemployed if the govt and economy demand they not get 1 hour work in the given fortnight if looking and available for work? What a waste of money.

there is actually no point where the economy wants those 700,000 people employed... it's called NAIRU (Non-accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment). Lowering unemployment == rising inflation. Raising unemployment == lowering inflation. NAIRU is the equilibrium.

If Tony_Burke thinks this is an improvement on Jobactive, he hasn't looked into it. I'm not interested in more of the same Morrison gov punishing us for being on low incomes. We expected improvement from Labor, if they don't deliver they will lose votes next election. auspol

If her medical condition is so severe, seek medical advice. The public health system will take care of severe conditions.

Hi Emma, it means, GET A JOB !!

If Emma has a medical she should have an exemption from looking for work or mural obligations which should cover her until the system settles down... check her my gov site for updates....she may have a phone appointment to discuss her needs with Centrelink.

Emma should get a medical exemption for looking for work from her doctor....which should cover her until the system settles down...she may have a phone appointment to discuss her needs with Centrelink.
