Nothing is easy.

no

They're bad programs

I don't see how conservative neoliberals don't mind that they're not getting their money's worth

AFAIK you get about $100 on top of the standard Newstart Allowance for whatever it is you have to do

and 'experience' with a small business that might not exist next week

i'm convinced they spend more on welfare administration than they can claw back

i suppose if you employ unemployed people to cut off welfare to other unemployed then you're doing something about some job problem in some marginally satisfactory way

then again they're fudging the numbers in the opposite way to how labor did

labor moved a bunch of newstart addicts onto disability

to claim they fixed unemployment

it's an extra $200/fortnight

so more than the difference you'd get for fully complying with work for the dole
