       "But kowtowing to job providers nearly broke me. Most were box-tickers who just fed you through the system to get their payments, but one who was particularly vile made my life a misery. Every fortnightly visit ended up with me going home in tears from her snide remarks and judgmental attitude. If I complained, they had the power to stop my payments, so I just weathered it.'#Labor have to do better and stop these immoral job agencies profiting by pretending to help people get jobs but not actually looking for any, or contacting employers & advocating for job seekers.They bulky & insist jobseekers apply themselves for 20 or more jobs  while sending them on useless  compulsory courses the agencies run  and double dip fees from govt all the time. Or else farm them out for free 'voluntary' labour in so called charities. This is corruption on a blatant scale .Many like Sarino Russo w #LNP  govt connections had huge contracts for years.The way the #CES operated was honest, humane & effective. Bring it back, employ more trained decent PS to run it properly. Turn Jobseeking back to a SERVICE NOT A PUNISHMENT.  https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/feb/20/i-used-to-be-part-of-the-working-class-now-im-part-of-the-working-poor?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
