A cool fact I recently learnt about Bob Hawke is he wanted to roll out "Work for the Dole" in 1986, but his own ministers stopped him

[Anti-Poverty Network SA @AntiPovertyN_SA]

You still have 3 days to make a sub to the latest Senate inquiry into #CashlessWelfare!
This one's for the Bill that will extend the "trials" for another long year.
Please help! Tell the Senators how you use cash to save.

We call it propaganda. We call it manufactured consent. Cashless welfare is a paternalistic rort designed to entrench poverty and an underclass so that corporations can bleed us for public money and profit indefinitely.

[AUWU @AUWUnational]

This afternoon, young unionists & unemployed workers rallied out front of @JoshFrydenberg's office, demanding an end to Work for the Dole #DignityNotDole

[Anti-Poverty Network SA @AntiPovertyN_SA]

#CashlessWelfare raises extra concerns around privacy and security for people trying to escape domestic violence, including trying to move out of trial zone.
@SenatorSiewert asking DSS if they have anything in place for these kinds of situations?

DSS not sure.

#CanTheCard

[Anti-Poverty Network SA @AntiPovertyN_SA]

Please sign and share this petition calling on the Government to make #ParentsNext voluntary.
The inquiry’s next week, so let’s get those numbers up and show Canberra that Australian’s value the work mums are doing with their kids every day!

Yet it's the Jobseekers the government believes we should criminalise and strictly monitor, of course. https://t.co/lr1dxYdaVk

[Rachel Siewert @RachelMSiewert]

Following the tabling of the senate inquiry report into #jobactive, the Greens are calling on the Government to abolish #WorkfortheDole and the punitive demerit point system that has seen so many people lose their only source of income.
