They’re “JobSeeker Parasites” using people in abject poverty to make their companies mega dollars! #RaiseTheRate get rid of these scammers. Leaners of no morality, of ill-repute and scabs of the good people deserving better. Get rid of them now! #auspol 👍

The very first thing to do to return Australia to the path to prosperity is to end the privatisation of all essential services
Neoliberal privatisation has been the single greatest disaster we have ever had the stupidity to adopt

Don’t get me started on the so-called #JobSearchProviders. They are just there to take taxpayers’ money NOT to help us find employment. Bring back the CES. They HELPED!

At least the jobs at the CES were real and a real person phoned the boss to set up an interview. Many jobs advertised online are fake and harvest job applicants data. The 'activities' that jobseekers are forced to do to receive a payment are borderline abusive.

The old Commonwealth Employment Service was far from perfect, but John Howard showed us just how much worse the private sector could (fail to) do the job. Australia needs a comprehensive public sector devoted to employment, education & training.

If we view Unemployment Benefit as government compensation for society's inability to ensure that everyone has the necessities of life, including something meaningful to do (not necessarily "employment" or "a job"), then we might be on a better track.

Blocking people who try to tell me my experiences aren’t what they are and who with sweeping blanket statements are attempting to assure everyone that employment service providers aren’t exploitative and abusive to JobSeekers. Yes they are! As standard practice. 😡 #auspol

In my regional town, businesspeople still speak wistfully of the days when they could ask the CES to find suitable people and they usually did - for free. The value is inestimable.
"Jobs for people;
People for jobs"
was the mantra.

These schemes don't work.
They don't create any jobs, a handful of companies will just keep firing and hiring to claim as many times as they can.
More free money for billionaires.

I’d know if I was allowed back in the workforce.
I’m 46. Applied for 1000s jobs since May. Nothing. I don’t believe these jobs are real in the workplace app or job seeking apps. The privatisation of jobs has led to an insane increase in insecurity of healthy living standards. 🤬

The whole system is obscene. Our economy needs some people to be unemployed, they say (NAIRU). If true, then we need a better economy. Jobseeker should be viewed as compensation for society's failure to provide people with opportunities to do something that's meaningful to them.
