News Article:
The Federal Government claims most people on the Newstart allowance are "job snobs", refusing to take work.
Centrelink will be given more powers to contact employers whom jobseekers claim to have approached for work.
Newstart recipients are already required to keep a diary of their attempts to find a job, including employers' names and phone numbers. Centrelink can cut welfare recipients who do not meet these requirements.
Question:
I worked for Centrelink for 6 years and found that there were a number of people that were bludgers, and a number of people that took what ever job they could find.
Are you, or do you know someone that is a job snob?
Are there jobs in your area that seem to go unfilled, although Centrelink lines are constantly busy?
What do you think about having 'skilled migrants' brought into Aust. Instead of training the already unemployed?
