So the latest Federal Budget spends $17 billion on tax cuts as a naked attempt to buy votes in the upcoming election.

Meanwhile, the Jobseeker payment (the unemployment benefit) could be raised to around the Henderson poverty line (roughly $80 per day instead of the roughly $50-60 per day) at a cost of $9.5 billion per year.

Keeping people in abject poverty, unable to afford the basics, is a choice made by both major parties.

The job I thought I had lined up just evaporated from the labour market. So it looks like I am going to have a lot of time to experience spring of 2025. Remember me if you need a fun informal speaker, commercially or for charity!

Des gens qui veulent bien m'embaucher en tant que photographe ou laborantin argentique en apprentissage ou n'importe quel poste lié à la photographie dans le cadre d'un BTS en alternance ?
Je suis prêt à me déplacer partout en France métropolitaine.

Un boost ferait plaisir

Does anyone have any tips for getting through to the #WINZ #MSD call centre for #JobSeeker #SoleParent benefit issues? It is so busy today that they won't let you stay on hold or give you a call back....

Anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor.

I'm at my employment services provider, and listening to a phone call she's having with another client.

This other client has had her #JobSeeker payments suspended because she hasn't submitted her record of job applications.

It's very obvious that she isn't tech savvy at all, and the DES worker is asking if her (it sounds like pre-teen?) daughter can help her with submitting the job record.

Meanwhile, she's not getting any money.

What are some tips for a US citizen looking to find a software engineering job in the EU / Norway?

I'm tired of our politics sucking so much ass, and I'm genuinely scared for the 2024 election.

I'm conversational in Spanish and Japanese and I'm learning Norwegian Bokmål (I can speak enough to get directions).

So far, I've been applying to Norwegian / EU jobs on LinkedIn, but most require that you are in the EU already or EMEA.

"Fixing the adequacy of Jobseeker and Youth Allowance to deliver basic economic security for women cannot wait."

Right now, the government chooses to keep jobseekers in poverty.

The government also chooses to keep jobseekers subject to the horrors of the privatised employment services industry where 70% of people have had their payments automatically suspended, despite a parliamentary committee last year finding that number “ridiculous” given the actual levels of welfare fraud are “minuscule”.

The government also chooses to subject jobseekers to “mutual obligations” which deliver no discernible economic benefit but do treat the unemployed with a level of degradation.

I keep seeing discussion around the epidemic of violence against women happening in Australia right now, and calls for action from the government.. and rightfully so.

I'm seeing demands that funding go towards organisations supporting people in violent situations, funding go towards first line responders, etc - all of which, yes! (except for funding cops.. fuck that noise).

I'm seeing discussion about how often these (pitiful) funding offers miss Indigenous groups and don't address the even higher rates of violence happening against Aboriginal women and girls.

What I'm not seeing is conversation about how increasing the rate of Job Seeker would also address the problem.

An increased Job Seeker rate would not only allow women in these situations to leave, but something we know about domestic and interpersonal violence is that the strain of poverty makes it SO much worse. Increasing Job Seeker (and addressing poverty by other means) would see a drop in the rates of domestic and interpersonal violence.

The government doesn't want you to know that, because it then raises the question of how many women could have been saved by addressing poverty.

So, when you see them talking about pouring literal billions of dollars into AUKUS, ask yourself how many dead women and girls might still be alive if this government addressed poverty instead of cosplaying wartime.

There are too many quotable paras in this excellent article.

Please read it all.

#Labor has been asked, and
begged to raise #jobseeker to help the worst off out of poverty, ever since its election. It has deliberately chosen not to do so but overspent on items that benefit the wealthy and the warmongers.

The graphs show the unfair disparities.

The budget reveals what governments actually care about
