Reply #13: I know how you feel..20 years ago in Australia I went on welfare and [View All]

[the Kelly Gang]

received the same treatment..it's humiliating and unhelpful, depressing etc etc.
But there has been a big change here a few years ago were all sorts of rules were introduced ( by a Labor Govt of course)that all public servants , including social securtiy workers, had to treat the customers( thatwas a name change as well) with respect.
A year ago I had to go on sickness welfare for 2 months..the diffence in being treated with respect was amazing and with social security workers treating their customers well..the system actually works.
So many more peoiple now actually go jobseeking and get off welfare quicker because they dont get destroyed in the welfare office first..it's human nature..treat people well and they respond.

But a Citizen's Dividend is the way to go !!
