Harsh penalties for Jobseekers in the midst of a recession is cruel and unfair
The Greens have called the Government's plan to bring back harsh penalties for people looking for work on the Jobseeker payment mean spirited and unfair.
“This is an approach solely driven by ideology”, Greens spokesperson on Family and Community Services Senator Rachel Siewert said.
Compliance driven approaches that demonise people on income support do not help them find work.
