25 years on, and here's a selection of the unpaid labour you can be forced to do, courtesy of the @MatchWorksAU Work for the Dole "opportunities" page 🥰 #AWFTD
@MatchWorksAU Let's not forget the origins of welfare-to-work... thank you to heroes of the working class Hawke & Howard for gifting millennials forced labour, along with so many other policies that benefit us to this day—from housing to workers' rights. #AWFTD

The MOs Bill is back & the government's desperate to get it done before an election.
You can't put lipstick on a pig.
ACOSS are pushing for some changes that will mean small improvements, but fundamentally this bill is bad & should be opposed.
Here's why to #RejectTheMOsBill👇

Don't lock in a bad system. We hope if Labor win government there's a chance for meaningful change. If this bill passes then any opportunity to work on substantive improvements will be significantly diminished. They've extended jobactive before & can do so again #RejectTheMOsBill
Changes that make savings from social security & unemployed people should be opposed.
The effect of changes in this bill will save $860 million in employment services over the forward estimates & another $191 million in payments recouped due to payment backdating changes.

Low labour force participation has been stagnant for 20 years.
Governments have failed us again and again, and DES should never have been allowed to continue in its current form as long as it has. #DisabilityRC #AbolishMutualObligations
