Episode description

Labor has been shy to propose any major changes to the unemployment system.

During the election, it ruled out raising the rate of unemployment benefits and while in opposition, it offered support to the coalition’s new ‘Workforce Australia’ scheme for the way job services operate.

But now we have new insight into what Labor is saying behind closed doors and the new government appears far from happy about what it’s discovered in the unemployment sector.

Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper, Rick Morton, on mutual obligations – and the first signs that the system might change.
