In typical fashion, the far right ratbag tries to deflect to those not in government; "If the greens were in government...." As we know the Greens are not in government, so anything SM says regarding the Greens is just fantasy.

A real example of rip off; Working full time in logistics, along comes 'Jobkeeper', the employer comes up with a brilliant idea. The employee can work 3 days a week in the office, and on the quite do 2 days working from home on her computer, which is possible. The catch is the employer only pays through 'Jobkeeper' which is equal to 3 days pay for the employee, the 2 days at home are to be unpaid. When its announced 'Jobkeeper' will be cut by $300/week, the employer said "You can work 2 days in the office and 3 days at home." Employee got another full time job at her second interview.

Dominoes Pizza boosted yearly profits by $4 million whilst collecting $3.5 million from 'Jobkeeper'. Other companies collecting 'Jobkeeper' are still paying fat dividends to share holders, and big bonuses to executives.

As usual, the far left scumbag has given a theoretical example of an unnamed employer at an unnamed company asking an unnamed employee to do work for which she is not paid for and the said employee obliges when she could refuse and then finds another job.

Firstly, ripping employees off has happened before (clean event sanctioned by Bill Shorten and DiNatale ripping off his au pair) and needs to be dealt with on a case by case basis and not by making the application so onerous that said lady would have been unemployed.

Judging by the replies, the Job keeper reports must be true !

With the Morrison recession picking up steam economists are warning that Australia will suffer a $31.3 billion hit over 2 years to the economy if as planned the present Jobseeker rate is cut back to the old Newstart level of $40/day for a single person.

Then there are the whinging fruit and vegetable growers bleating about where is their supply of slave labour in the form of backpackers to pick their crap. The shortage of workers has exposed the gross exploration of vulnerable young people by a minority of rip-offs growers and agents.

Shonkyminister, real case, real people, but you don't give a toss about others as long as your snout is in the trough getting all the benefits you enjoy complements of the struggle of fair-dinkum card carrying members of trade unions. What do they call something that sucks of a host without contributing anything for the benefit of that host? A PARASITE.
