| Should the unemployed work for the dole?. These work for the dole programs, do they really help the unemployed?, or are they just to make money out of the unemployed?. Divide 4 billion dollars of tax payers money between 190 or so work for the dole providers across Australia. You get flash offices, lights on all day, told to look for the hidden jobs. Then sent on 6 months work for the dole program, which at the end you don't get a minimum certificate, on a dishwashers course. Lets get rid of work for the dole rubbish. There are some people that are 64 years of age on work for the dole, what is the point of that?. The only reason for this is so the 64 year old unemployed person, is not counted in the ABS so called low unemployed numbers. Yes lets get rid of work for the dole rubbish. |

| Tend to agree with this. I am working as a volunteer and we have to take work for the dole people. They don't want to be there and to be honest most have worked and paid tax so why do they have to do it? One of our volunteers is working because her partner gets an invalid pension. I really don't agree with that at all. |

| yes, but not slave labor. Just community services like Meals on wheels, rubbish collection, Libary work, council work. All thing that don't cost money to get to. |

That would be an extremely unusual event if its true. Anyone over 50 with half a clue can avoid playing moronic Centrelink games. |

| We agree Ausgal! The scheme used to be very successful, but no idea now what it's like - probably deteriorated. |

| Unless disabled, there is no concievable reason why they can't contribute & good for their self esteem in fact it should be compulsory, the only ones who complain would be the druggies or dole bludgers.. |

| Try convincing any wet behind the ears blonde HR bimbo that anyone over 40 is capable of working. Anyone over 50 is believed to have one foot in the grave. Doesn't matter in the slightest if the 'old person' has a highly sought after trade or several degrees, they are as desirable on the books as a dinosaur. |

| work for the dole is a failed experiment as far as im concerned considering that I have done it I beleive that if the government is serious about the unemployed situation they should turn it into a proper job and not a six month thing. |

cull work for the dole, it's a farce.
the govt. is importing people who get unemployment benefits straight up, they are no obliged to WFtD
it's a "rort"(that was done to show persons whom doubt others authenticity of their downunder persuasion that indeed i b 1). The unemployed are entitledro receice a fair days wage for a fair days work..these WFtD projects are certainly slave labour for some capitalist pigs whom can't/ won't pay minimal wage for jobs. |

Ah, this old urban myth rears it's ugly head again. This statement is simply not true. If you are on the dole you are counted as unemployed. You're an idiot
Just when we thought all the whiffy vegetables had been thrown out, here comes the fluoride fancier itself !!!! If you care to check stupid, I was talking about over 50s not having to deal with the Centrelink monkeys which is a compeltely different thing from being on the dole. Its quite a simple thing to do providing one has a functional grey cell (which clearly excludes vegetables) |

That's like saying getting shot in the leg is better than getting shot in the chest. It might be better, but it's still horrible. |

| Work for the dole for specific designated periods of time just to give job searchers work practice, but you cant ask the people to work full time for the dole when they need to be out searching. Its more important that the Government im,prove our neglected disability welfare payments because these are the most vulnerable in a system based on economic Eugenics. |

| Since the vegetable has apparently gone looking for some other non-sentient lifeform I'll rejoin the thread. Work for the dole 'might' be workable for those with stuff-all skills & who need to be taken out of the couch-potato lifestyle, but its excessively demeaning when applied to a mature aged person with high level skills (unless possibly if they are happy to volunteer for menial work). It would be far more advantageous to move the lobotimized juvenile monkeys from nice cushy Centrelink & HR positions out into the real world for a few years and make way for some experienced mature age individuals. |

Im on a dissabillity and cant get out much and have days when there literally is nothing to do I get so bloody bored sometimes . I rekon work for the dole is good so long as it's not "slave Labour" Everyone needs to be treated with respect |

| With the amount of money it costs to implement these things, would it not just be better to get rid of them?. I have talked to unemployed people, that have done work for the dole. I think that you would find that if you were to talk to them, the majority would say that they would rather have nothing to do with it, and that it is of no benefit to them. Seems to me, if they don't want to do it, why should they?. After all it is everyone's tax that pays for all these useless programs. |

The mental giants who dream up schemes like work for the dole are undoubtedly pimple-faced wet-behind-the-ears 'experts' with no real world experience. Anyone who has ever had the misfortune of dealing with the lobotomized vegetables employed by DEEWR or its subsidiaries knows there aren't any more mindless numbskulls in existence. What I've never been able to understand is how hey get through a day as they are clearly incapable of something as technical as navigating their way out of bed in the mornings. |

clearly I must be in the minority.
I did work for the dole and got a job out of it. Six years later I am still in that job and doing very well.
I as fortunate though , in that it was an area I wanted to work in already. |
