File this under “I’m got mine, the rest of you can sod off”!
The privatisation of CES has been a failure. People who will find work will do it on their own. I never been on centrelink, but some “job trainer” how to do my job.
The solution is obvious. Cut the mess of bureaucracy, and allow people to work while on centrelink. Companies put in offers in the casual jobs pool like a website/app and the people on centrelink, can accept those jobs or be on call to work. The company pays the wages to centrelink for doing the job, the person on centrelink log the hours and then centrelink sorts out the mess like taxes, insurances, sick leave, holidays, etc. while getting their base pay from centrelink. All this can be automated.
Then have people who never work are now working.You have people on centrelink now paying taxes, those people now earning more money is going to spend it, generating more economic activity and more taxes.

You’re discussing ubi, really, but without the benefit of less administration.
