THIS coalition Government is really showing its true colours now, because they don’t want just to get the disabled back to work, they are saying people on the dole are going to have to do unpaid work each week to be eligible for dole money.
Well this seems to me that you don’t have to break the law to be put on community service.
All you have to do is sign on as unemployed, making a bit of a mockery of our justice system I would say.
Also, if they can find work for the thousands of people on the dole, then they should be paid a proper wage. After all, no one is expected to work for less than the mininum wage.
The Government has made this law and if people are made to work for their dole money, then they will be working for less than the minimum wage, and that’s not lawful.
