So what does he mean by "earn, learn or work"? Are people meant to work even if they won't earn from it?

Everyone must do their part for the ~economy~. Jesus knew that there was a job for everyone and it is not necessarily everyone’s place to receive financial compensation.

gently caress you, Ewen, the new Smash Bros has more credibility than your party. Villager's economic policy has more guaranteed returns, judging by Samus and Mega Man they actually have a science policy, and the series as a whole is a testament to the strength of their immigration platform, especially given the model citizen that is Sonic.

EDIT: Every Pokemon in Smash is a rare one, so their commitment to wildlife preservation is top-notch.

Their rehabilitation efforts could use some work. I mean sure, Ganondorf is a fine fellow now, but they've really dropped the ball on helping folks like Ridley get back on their feet.

If you go for jobs that you're clearly overqualified for then what do you expect? No one wants to hire some uni student to do a job like that because they know that you won't take it seriously, at least not the way someone who depends on it for their livelihood will.

Yes but if in my current unemployed state I earn $0, and if I were employed I would earn $n where n>0, and I cannot live earning $0, then I think I would take that employment quite seriously.

The Liberal National party has staged a turnaround in Queensland and now has a comfortable lead over Labor in the leadup to the 2015 election, a Newspoll shows.

The poll which looked at voting intentions if a state election was held tomorrow, and which was published in the Australian on Tuesday, shows the LNP leads Labor 54% to 46% on a two-party preferred basis.

Cruelty aside, I don't even get how the 6 month wait would be beneficial. Surely something like 4 weeks emergency payment and then cutting it off would make more sense?

If there are so many deadbeat bludgers out there, won't they be encouraged to not look for work once they get closer to 6 months? And might not want a job once they get on it for fear of having to start their 6 months again if they become unemployed?

There is no point aside from cruelty. It's not about saving money, it's not about preventing a skills shortage, it's about punishing people and making them afraid of losing or not having a job.

Exactly, it comes from the same place as the suggestions that workers should be able to "opt out" of Fair Work laws in order to persuade an employer to take them on. It's all about dragging down conditions at the lower end.

I hate to advocate emptyquoting or shitposting to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
Our industrial relations system relies on people calling out their employers for unfair practices. If you can't get or survive on Newstart, you aren't likely to compromise your employment by complaining about being mistreated.

No complaints, no industrial relations laws being used, bosses do whatever they want. Welcome to the 1820s.

SBS headline: 'Fat' MP claims people on welfare eat junk food and play video games

quote:

The outspoken MP from north Queensland is no stranger to snacks, having famously reacted with outrage to a government run heathly food rating system, claiming the government had no right warning people they were eating unhealthy food.

“I am obese and I carry a lot of weight and I always have and my thing is I’m not fat because I’m stupid, I’m fat because I eat too much,” he said at the time.

By my incredibly rough estimates, Townsville has around 100k people employed, an unemployment rate of 10%, and 500-1000 jobs advertised.

Draw some conclusions.

Opposing IR changes is the easiest thing in the world for them. Their base opposes it, their financial backers oppose it, they've personally campaigned against it, they won government last time it was a major thing. They're not going to support it.

I think you're missing the part where they have a backbone made of helium.

I just binge watched Hollowmen. It was great and it was spookily similar to today except for the parts where they were scared of a savaging by the opposition.

I still want to know how they think 2007 happened. Because I'm pretty sure they won by a landslide by having the guts to stand up and say 'these other guys are terrible and making GBS threads all over you, you deserve better and we can give you better, especially you young people that they hate with a passion'.

That is the easiest loving thing in the world to understand, it's literally just looking at the LNP's entire platform and saying 'no' with a lot of conviction. Do the guys in charge of the Labor party just not understand how they win?

Rudd was selling a positive, forward-looking platform too. It played well off the perception that Howard's time was up. The Coalition might have lost even if it had been Beazley vs Howard (or Beazley vs Costello), but Rudd's time as Opposition Leader put the nails in the coffin.
