Next week’s jobs summit seems like an opportune time to raise questions around the lucrative employment industry

Unemployment has rarely been mentioned in the build-up to the jobs and skills summit, but the value and effectiveness of Australia’s system is increasingly being questioned.Unemployment has rarely been mentioned in the build-up to the jobs and skills summit, but the value and effectiveness of Australia’s system is increasingly being questioned.The government is about to launch what it hopes will be a rescue mission to relieve an understaffed and inflation-battered economy.

On 1 and 2 September, the jobs and skills summit will bring together about 100 people from business and labour groups, welfare organisations, at least two billionaires, and politicians.

Just short of 20 years ago – on 30 June 2003 – the last traces of the public service-operated Commonwealth Employment Service were erased and its remaining 165 offices closed. “It’s a sad day when the government withdraws from Employment National and says that it’s not a core government responsibility to find people a job,” Albanese, then opposition employment spokesperson, said.The privatised jobseeking model is still there, in an altered form, and Albanese could not be expected to now effectively nationalise it, no matter how uncomfortable it still might make him.

If we close down private employment brokers and put these bludgers who have grown fat off this scheme and put them on centrelink benefits we will achieve Treasury and the Liberals' aim of a pool of unemployed to depress the growth of wages.

For context almost all comments regarding unemployment, deletes unemployed people. The abuse comes from the Mutual Obligation regime, that threatens peoples access to food and shelter. Whether private companies or govt are the abusers doesn't matter. Abuse is abuse. auspol

Well done Malcolm,this racket needs a serious investigation,know one particular 58year old woman that was mentally destroyed by these people,they treated her like shit absolute mental torture,the RSPCA wouldn’t allow it to be done to a dog

Agree. CES actually cared, supported & helped unemployed. The privatised ones are focused on earning money from the govt, not on helping people.
