But new data from Vox Pop Labs, in collaboration with the ABC, suggests just 34 per cent of Australians think the payment should be reduced as the economy improves.
A quarter of people said when the economy improved, the JobSeeker allowance should be somewhat lower, with a further 9 per cent saying it should be "substantially lower", while 8 per cent said they did not know. A separate question found 60 per cent of people believed the Government should provide a guaranteed minimum income for all people, regardless of whether they had a job or not.The survey of nearly 2,000 Australians was weighted to account for age, sex, political inclination and other variables, with the intent of producing a demographically representative picture of the Australian population.
We are asked 0.008% of the population if Jobseeker should be reduced. Most Australians said No & Bill Shorten will win the next election, Brexit won’t happen & Donald Trump will never be President.
It's an yourABC poll, credibility?
The answer is easy - Increase tax.
Literally no one has anything ideally against governmental benefits whether it be jobseeker or student support. And if they, are their reasons are based on manufactured fear of people “taking advantage” of the policy.
