A very long time ago when I was young and unemployed, Centrelink sent me to a Sarina Russo job agency. The two things I remember: how useless they were at helping me find a job, and how pissed off I was that everyone was given a copy of her dumb book, presumably at taxpayer expense.

Job agency companies and bosses continue to make an extraordinary amount of money from a Mutual Obligations system we now know operates unlawfully

Here's the latest example of what they're doing with that public funding. Enjoy Sarina at the Louis Vuitton resort in St Tropez 👇

In the mood for some trashy 80s pop. Don’t judge me. Lol. Actually, I don’t care. I’m unashamedly a fan of all ones of music.

Listening to Bonnie Tyler’s ‘Total Exlipse of the Heart’ & now it always reminds me of ‘The Last Showgirl’. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I found that scene where Jamie Lee Curtis’s character, Annette drunkenly gets up on a stage in the pokies room and dances to be particularly poignant.

Wow! What a talent. That’s just stunning! 😍

In one of those moods for 80s power ballads. It’s all part of the healing process. Lol.

It almost took my will to live

I never should have been subject to MOs on sole parenting payment

Great run-down of the mutual obligations system — both it's current unlawful administration, and it's rotten ideological underpinnings that destroys lives — by @amyremeikis.bsky.social here: www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Punishing job applicants for something fully outside their control, like the decision of a company to hire them or not out of thousands of qualified applicants, is exactly the same as punishing someone for eg: how many people walked past their house today. It makes you a fucking inhumane monster.

Labor's employment minister rep admits that payment suspensions "cause harm", but they're "an important part" of the (unlawful) mutual obligations system, because

"At the end of the day we want ppl to get off payments and find a job"

gross 'best form of welfare is a job' stuff from the ALP here

Money doesn’t buy class or taste. And I’d bet good money that bag is a knock off. And if it isn’t. She still manages to make it look as tacky as hell with that godawful ensemble.

She's the living embodiment of the phrase "mutton dressed as lamb."

She's also (and more importantly) a fucking bludger living it up on the public system. All that gaudiness and tacky style. Reminds me of tr*mp.

I watched the final ep last night, and I have to agree with this review. #TASK is extremely well written, the performances by all of the cast outstanding, and it definitely leaves an emotional mark on you. It did with me anyway. Highly recommended. #HBOmax
