NEW: I have obtained, under FOI, a secret Department report that initially recommended the Targeted Compliance Framework - aka, the unlawful "mutual obligations" scheme

It reveals that, like Robodebt, they recklessly built this thing to punish "entitled" frauds who never existed
"Other job seekers who fail to meet their requirements are not interested in finding work, either because they have other sources of undeclared income or because they see their payments as an entitlement for which they should not have to do anything in return. For these job seekers, strong penalties are required to send a clear message that those who are unwilling to meet their mutual obligation requirements will not receive income support. Based on these findings, a new compliance system is proposed that will address the weaknesses of the current model and deliver the objectives of this review. This new framework will include: • Greater autonomy and emphasis on personal responsibility for most job seekers. • Better identification of factors impacting job seeker capability before penalties are applied. • Targeting of significantly tougher compliance penalties at job seekers who have demonstrated they are not genuine in meeting their requirements. • Greater simplicity through more consistency in the design and application of compliance rules for different types of failures Recommendation 1: Targeted Compliance Framework The new approach will be based around a targeted compliance framework which consists of two phases – a personal responsibility phase for the majority of job seekers who generally meet their requirements and an intensive compliance phase which will apply strong penalties to persistently non-compliant job seekers. The system will be bolstered by new technologies to assist job seekers in monitoring their requirements, and multiple interventions to identify when factors impacting the job seekers ability to comply or inappropriate requirements may be preventing a genuine job seeker from meeting their requirements."

trust is neither given nor earned. it forms naturally between people who share the experience of having listened to Skinny Puppy at or after 3 am in the dark by themselves

I’m not surprised they didn’t get the “fuck 2dopeboyz” treatment during the speech but I can’t help but feel they might deserve it a little bit

There's a hole in the bottom of the trashcan and he grows underground like a big green ginger root. Jim Henson confided that in me before he died.

A classic DANGER warning sign. It has a red oval above against a black background with DANGER inside it in thick white text. Below in bold black text on the remaining white background it states "THIS MACHINE KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN METAL AND FLESH. IT CHOOSES FLESH."

rise of the machines
Fred Flentstone stands, hands on his hips, looking incredulously at Barney Rubble, who is at the corner of the panel barely visible. He appears to wearing tiny sunglasses. "C'mon Barn, what's with the getup? and what is that on your head?" Fred asks. "oh this, Fred?" We now see Barney is also wearing a black trench coat and smoking a cigarette. A small bird is taped to the side of his head. "Just the latest in cybernetic enhancement technology- wired right into my brain." The background dissolves and Barney stands next to a free floating diagram of a human body with several small birds going into it and says "we're entering a new age, Fred- the synthesis of man and machine as one flesh. This is the future. It's hack or be hacked." Fred looks incredulous. The bird pecks Barney. Barney puts his hands on his head and screams "the machines are turning against us! We have built God only for him to destroy us!" as the bird continues to peck at him.
