Private providers have rorted the employment services system while job seekers have faced poverty & homelessness. The Greens will bring back the CES, abolish mutual obligations & hire more Centrelink staff to bring phone wait times to under 5 mins - putting people first.

Destruction of TAFE was perhaps the most tragic & short-sighted consequence
A showcase of rorters and producers of substandard graduates.
Thatcherite policies that have totally stuffed Britain.
#BringBackTheCES
Received a letter from Centrelink saying I didn't have to report as my circumstances changed
I rang the faster aged number & after a 55min wait asked what had changed
They couldn't say or explain why I received the letter
I was surrogate for Mum for a while and came to understand how bad it must be for those not on the 'faster' track.
Ooops - there’s no Greens candidate standing in my seat … 🤔 #auspol
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You won't have the numbers to pass anything on your own.
Good ideas.
But when you vote with the lnp, will never happen.
The #GreenArmy was a great program from what I saw. Knew a coordinator - she was working with Pilbara kids to grow native crops for sale.

Giving your middle rich mates $10 week at a cost of $7 Billion... instead of giving $100 a week to the unemployed for $5 billion.
38% BELOW POVERTY.. Labor are FRAUDS #Auspol
Private employment services have been a waste of money and often an impediment to people gaining employment.
So much of that complexity is needlessly bloating wait times. 2/
Tolstoy's War and Peace: 587,287 words.
ALL of Shakespeare's plays: 835,997 words.
This is one reason why wait times are so high. A root and branch review of SS law is needed, followed by a lot of repealing.
How do you propose to achieve it, eg what is the strategy for negotiating it with other parties?
