governments are to create the environment so that anyone who wants to work can do so
the dole is a safety net luxury designed to keep beggars off the streets and reduce prostitution keep nightstalkers lazy add to mackas profits make petty thieves look pathetic( aw geez I nicked this woman's purse an got ten bucks)
it is not the government's job to organise labour into gangs against their will especially when to pay a supervisor $800+ costs more than doling out $800+ to his three subordinates and just makes more government
most people do not really earn a living they just get money for a while until their employer wakes up to them proof is the failure rate of business
the dole is the dole, however the term is couched and unemployment comes from: incapable of earning a living unwilling to spend life in some sweathouse doing repetitive boring processes cannot find a job that offers repetitive boring processes untrained as a brain surgeon
not everybody is suited to work and not everyone sees the point
this is the 'lucky country' even if grumpy old donald did claim his term was satire
try 6am to midnight 7 days for $20 in thailland I know the cost of living is cheaper that explains it yeah right
