I had similar a couple of years back, with Max Employment, the evil fuckers.
But from what I could gather this hour on their PC's was instead of spending a week in a seminar learning how to better find a job, as if they could actually help a person. Of course the government was giving them a shitload of money on the pretense of training me for a week.
In the end I did my job hunting at home before I went in, with the jobs I applied for on a list with me. I copied that list on to their approved form at their office, handed it to them and walked out.
They were fine with this arrangement.

Dammit, even just remembering my dealings with Max Recruitment gets me really angry.

For the record, the DoE told me my agency can set as many appointments as they like so I'm now spending 24 hours a month in their offices to apply for 20 jobs.

He doesn't actually sound very upset... Are you disputing something in particular in what you posted?

This last paragraph in particular is actually quite interesting: "When we now measure progress in education, for instance, we must be careful to adjust for the fact that there are now many more children being included who would have not been included before .... That means the statistics may exaggerate progress for Aborigines in more traditionally Aboriginal areas"

I'm disputing that people choose to identify as Aboriginal for financial gain. I think if anyone is choosing to identify as Aboriginal now who didn't in the last census (assuming this is even a thing - I sure as poo poo know Bolt didn't crunch the numbers) it's because our racial climate, wherein Adam Goodes is reviled nationally because he did a cultural dance, is still more friendly to Indigenous people than it was in the past.

Dealing with Newstart bullshit has got me hankering for any good reading (articles or books) out there about how such a counterproductive and corrupt jobseeking system came about. Like a historical breakdown starting from when the welfare system was competent, if it was, and who specifically was responsible for transforming it into the system it is today, where outsourced functionaries have the power to cancel my ability to buy food for 8 weeks if I turn down a minimum wage job in asbestos removal.

This is revenge for not taking that amazing job opportunity. They want you to leave because you know your rights and they can't just foist whatever bullshit on you and have you out the door asap. You're costing them money. Document everything and then bring it to Centrelink and/or the DoE to see if they care? I mean they probably won't, but there's a slight chance of them getting in trouble, right? Or at least not being able to repeat this with the next poor bastard they get to "help".

I shouldn't be surprised that you can be managed out of social safety nets this easily but I think I'm going to be when the DoE tells you there's no proof of this at all and they're just doing their job.

I reckon it's cos they don't actually get anyone a real job, just funnel their clients into a small network of businesses they have kickbacks with. My job network job a decade plus ago was similar - hired a lot of people off the dole and the woman taking my interview made a personal phone call during my interview so it was obviously a show.

It seems as if they pay no attention to basic demographics, it'll get them nowhere in Bendigo and probably less in Ballarat what with Pell's little trial coming up. If the intention is to pick up elsewhere, I don't see where.

(I'm not referring to Muslims in Bendigo but the sizeable African refugee population for whom God became a joke what with their families brutally murdered in front of them in tribal violence).

Supposedly they've retracted because journalists don't reveal sources, but yeah. Also RDN's chief of staff was the biggest sieve in NSW, it's expected behaviour from her.
