just like the greens are doing right now with the property tax changes, everytime labor does something good you have all these people come out saying “it’s not good enough!”
its the thing that got rudd booted out, the greens saw the carbon tax that would incentivise every company into decarbonising, and they said “it’s not good enouuughh”
has Australia fallen into mass hysteria? because who decided these brunswick hipsters should have the deciding vote on anything?

“Once in a generation” per Rishworth.
Labor believes in nothing.
RA3236 on
The fundamental issue here is that the supports are not effective for those who are on JobSeeker for extended periods of time – the two core groups being older folks, and neurodivergent individuals.
In both cases, the reason why they are not employed isn’t because they lack the skills for employment (they don’t), but that either social biases (ageism or the double empathy problem) and (especially for neurodivergent folks) simply asking for info that neurotypical people can easily lie about (or misrepresent) but neurodivergent people can’t (because it involves active masking, or because they are vague and they don’t understand them the same way) – things like “are you are good team player” or “do you have good people skills”.
If you actually want to get these people employed, you need to anonymise employment. Get rid of interviews, get rid of CVs and resumes, have the government run a service where your education, additional relevant skills and work experience are publicly available but not your age, looks, disability etc. Businesses would then employ solely on skills rather than being biased towards people who interact the best with them during interviews or can make their resumes “click”, or even just look like what they want.
