But the grandfather said he found it nearly impossible to find work when he lost his job two and a half years ago.
The Australian Council of Social Services is pushing for an overhaul to Newstart, advocating for an increase of $75 a week. "It's not like if you get Newstart that you don't have any expectation do anything while you're on the payment," she said.
Totally agree.....I applied for 100 jobs and only got 5 interviews in 12 months but no jobs due ageism and sexism however eventually got a job via the 'who you know' network which last 15 years!
It’s due to bludgers not wanting to take some bottom rung employment and genuinely look for something better. Pure fucking laziness.
It’s designed as a stopgap between jobs so you can “survive” not to live comfortably off! And stop bashing high income earners, it’s their tax paying for your $40 per day!!!!
It's not degrading. You're just looking for something to say.
Haha lazy people who don't want to work complaining that the handouts are degrading. Go live in a 3rd world country and see what you get. Slackers.

Woolworths slashes weekly specials in push to gain 'price trust'The supermarket giant believes the path to customer loyalty lies with consistently lower prices, rather than weekly one-off specials. It's been tried with spectacularly underwhelming success. Folks like to feel like they're found treasure. Make shopping blander and you'll watch your base revolt But I only buy Puffydogs when they're on special. Woolworths tried the 'Every Day Low Prices (EDLP)' strategy a decade ago and it failed. I'm off to Coles and the next promotion that my kids love.
