It's like triple J's unearthed only poo poo: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4596400/Australia-s-dole-bludger-suburbs-revealed.html quote:Revealed: Australia's top 10 dole bludger suburbs where welfare recipients are slacking off the most By Jacob Polychronis For Daily Mail Australia PUBLISHED: 01:49 +10:00, 13 June 2017 | UPDATED: 10:10 +10:00, 13 June 2017 http://caboolture.localstats.com.au/demographics/qld/brisbane/outer-northern-suburbs/caboolture quote:n the 2011 census the population of Caboolture was 21,929 quote:Caboolture has an unemployment rate of 10.3%. = 2260 unemployed. So this 'hot spot is a tiny proportion of the unemployed AND given the level of screwing up that the JSPs do especially regarding 'appointments' a high proportion are likely to be spurious in any case. -/- In amazing schadenfreude news (from Britain) :- http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-09/may-eyes-deal-with-irish-party-in-bid-to-cling-to-power/8605222 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-10/uk-election-democratic-unionist-party-dup-brexit-explained/8606954 quote:What does this mean for Brexit? So following the monumentally stupid Brexit referendum fate has handed May a government that will make leaving the EEU complex at best and more likely impossible. The Torys in the UK are an example to us all (of one sort or another).

Spirited Andrew Bolt puts his attackers to shame So, I made a mistake. You could even say I was wr… wro… less right than usual. A couple of weeks ago, amused by the Nazi punching meme, I wrote what I hoped would be an amusing column unpacking that particular clown circus. In the end I came down on the side of not punching anyone, but I had so much fun relaying the arguments in favour of getting punchy that I probably didn't make myself clear. So I'll try again: Physically attacking anybody for any reason other than unavoidable defence against a clear and present danger is a douche move. What about less violent physical confrontations.

And shooting video of your sad little glitter bomb attack for a little viral release after the fact? A moronic douche move of such life-threatening stupidity that you would probably die of stupidity even in a carefully controlled ecosystem designed to foster hand-raised idiots for release into the wild. An environment, say, not unlike the comment thread of an Andrew Bolt blog. Yes. That's right. If you are dumb enough to physically attack Andrew Bolt, even with glitter and shaving cream, you are probably so stupid that natural selection couldn't find a niche for you in an environment of perfect stupidity. Seriously, what were those guys thinking last week? The ones who not only attacked Bolt from behind but apparently did so on camera? The first thing they were thinking, like anybody who raises a hand against anyone else, is that they were going to win. They were going to get away with it. But that didn't work out so well did it? I'll give the Bolter this if nothing else, he has a brawler's instincts and a fighter's spirit. He was attacked, without warning, from behind, and his natural reaction was two-fisted. Most people would just freeze. There was nothing polished about his defence. It was a wild melee of a thing, with no footwork and dangerously poor target selection. I think he might have punched a pole at one point. But unlike the arse clowns who ambushed him, he was up for it. The first sign of any push back and those heroes, all three of them, went to water. They looked like cowards and fools. The only harm they did to Bolt was to ruin his suit, which he's now auctioned off for charity. The harm they did to the arguments and standing of everyone who disagrees with his vile and frequently dangerous opinions was immeasurable. Nice work, fellas.

At least the church doesn't actually seem to hate the mentally ill, just trans people. They just sat down and thought 'how can we try ensure trans people don't feel welcome in society? I know we can claim we want the ban the mentally ill because it makes us feel ~~**unsafe**~~ and then once we get that exemption say trans people are mentally ill and thus can't come to church'. So they're just playing political football with the mentally ill to be hateful fucks just like God intended.

I'm a monster who's on the dole and needs to vent. I turned down a job as a sales/logistics coordinator because it was paying minimum wage when, based on my research, people on average earn about $25 for that position. I could've accepted less than that, but the employer wouldn't raise the pay and we parted on amicable terms. I contacted my recruitment agency to let them know and they said my Newstart might now be at risk of termination because I didn't accept suitable employment. I pointed out that this forces me to accept employment I don't want, which screws over the employer a few months down the road when I find better work and they've wasted time training me (this was a small business and I would have been running their whole office, so they would have ended up in a very lovely position). I pointed out that being forced into the job makes me less flexible in terms of taking calls/attending interviews for jobs I do want. I didn't point out that any employer who went through the agency and was aware of these terms could force people into contracts offering less pay than the position deserves. I also didn't point out that this could lead to me attending interviews for jobs I don't want and tanking them just so I'm meeting my obligations. It's absurd. They know I'm actively trying to find work. I got interviewed and offered the job two hours after the agency told me about it. I liked it and would've accepted if the pay was reasonable. And now I might be cut off from assistance. I doubt Centrelink are going to appreciate the nuances of the situation.

Centrelink should be supporting job seekers getting the right job not getting "any loving job".

Also you are right logistics co-ordinators are usually not a minimum wage role.

Guess my brother was lucky as gently caress. He just recently quit his agency job after working in a plastic bag factory. They weren't giving him proper safety gear to deal with the fumes from the glue and his agency didn't even ask why, just gave him a new job on the Monday.

It's totally missing the forest for the trees in terms of economic outcomes and going straight to kicking the poor. I have to wait until tomorrow to hear back from the agency. I might be okay on the technicality that I've said I'm looking for full-time work and the position was part-time (for some reason the employer told the agency it's full-time when it was only 20 hours). Also, they were only paying $13 during the training period, which has to be illegal? Hopefully the agency consider this and doesn't forward anything to Centrelink, but who knows.

Seems to me like paying $13/h for training would be the same as unpaid trials. That is it's only legal insofar as it's necessary as a demonstration of your skill. If you had more than one shift of doing the same type of work at that rate that's probably illegal, but IANAL.

It's only legit if it's part of an actual training program with a corresponding qualification. I'd make a complaint to Centrelink about your JSA and tell them that they pressured you into accepting illegal work. quote:https://www.fairwork.gov.au/pay/minimum-wages/apprentice-and-trainee-pay-rates#trainee-pay

open24hours posted:It's only legit if it's part of an actual training program with a corresponding qualification. Wow, thanks. The agency wasn't aware of the illegal training rate when I mentioned it, so hopefully when they call me back tomorrow they'll accept my refusal to sign the contract as not breaching my obligations. Surely they won't say something like "You should have informed us of the illegal rate so we could contact the employer and have them amend the contract." Surely I had recourse to reject it on the spot. Otherwise I'll definitely do what you said. I'll be transferring to a new agency regardless. snoremac fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Jun 13, 2017 |

As far as I know, they always get a commission, and they get a larger one if you've been unemployed for a certain period of time.

I'm going to have to go back to dealing with one shortly, after being with one JSP for the maximum allowed time and finding a job through them. Coincidentally, my job stopped giving me hours when I was no longer on the JSP's books. Gonna be fun times ahead.

It's not very subtle "poor shaming". I know quite a few people who have had it sufficiently drilled into them that they'd never go on the dole because they're not that kind of person just because of how demonised it's become.
