The Department is asked about job providers harassing participants for their payslips (to claim bonuses off jobs people find themselves) The Department: "There haven't been any of those cases in recent times" A lie. I've been helping multiple people who say they're being bullied for their payslips

"Will the new model still allow providers to claim outcome payments for employment that the job seeker found independently?" "We would see job outcome payments continuing to be a feature" fraud, rorting, and exploitation of the poor WILL and MUST continue!

DEWR got grilled in estimates earlier about the mutual obligations scandal "Under 42AM there could be up to 310k people affected [by unlawful payment cancellations]. What's your estimate?" Department: "It is in the vicinity of that"

A man on JobSeeker calls into ABC Melbourne to say he hasn't eaten in three days He says all his job provider does is pray for him.

On RN today: "Do you accept the argument that...if benefits were higher, people would have a greater ability and capacity?" Rishworth lies by saying the government "has increased jobseeker by 25%" Then says: "When I speak to jobseekers, they want a high quality [job] service that has their back"

Rishworth: "I am really sick of this debate of 'too soft' or 'too hard' mutual obligations. I want to see effective mutual obligations" You're sick of the debate? Imagine how all the people you're torturing in this system feel

"You're not getting rid of the system of mutual obligations...Were you too afraid of the backlash to root out a Howard-era welfare system?" [Doesn't answer] "Do you think [MOs] are a good thing?" Rishworth: MOs play a rly important role and... is part of the social contract

Albanese is asked why nothing in budget goes to the poorest Australians "If the budget's in better shape next year, will you look at raising JobSeeker?" Albanese: What we want to do is "make sure people can get into a job. That's how you lift people out of poverty"

"Job providers are still refusing phone appts, forcing welfare recipients to travel. How bad does the fuel crisis need to get before g'ment considers suspending obligations?" Government says they take action against providers who do the wrong thing. Everyone, even the Ombudsman, knows this a lie

The NACC deputy commissioner explains the two "key" reasons why they didn't make the hearings into Morrison etc public 1) "Public hearings could prejudice any later criminal proceedings" 2) "It could cause unfair harm to the reputation, privacy, safety or wellbeing of individuals involved"

Owned! Labor has dumped its dreadful FOI Bill, because "it does not have the support of the Senate"

"What's the legal justification under international law for this action by America & Israel?" Wong: "The legal basis for this is for the US & Israel to explain" "We're not party to the intelligence the US & Israelis are referencing" Aus foreign policy in a nutshell

The government is refusing to answer questions about why the Secretary was sacked "I don't think anyone...would appreciate the circumstances of their employment termination being discussed" She was paid $1m/year to unlawfully cut ppl's payments. You can't bullshit your way past this one, sorry

the road to hell is paved with charities saying stuff like: "We're trying to remove the stigma of Work for the Dole"

#SarinaWatch: she's now at a luxury french resort, holding roadkill

Heartwarming moment: boss rewards publicly funded executive with luxury handbag 😍
