oh goodie!! political memes! I have hundreds in my threadbombing file.
let me just do a few chores and we'll have some fun 
think i will believe the ACTU when it comes to wages, jobs and safety issues.
so how much are the participants actually getting paid per hour and is it in fact half the minumum wage?
did you know the service providers must have a work health and safety management safety that adheres to AS4801 and the Government will purchase personal accident and product and public liability insurance to cover Participants in the Programme?

Fruit growers across the state are cooling and protecting their orchards in the hope of limiting damage to the summer harvest from Victoria's scorching heatwave.
hello izabs, maybe they can form a human umbrella.

Hi Boris, there's a thought
though ...only OK if our Country's Health advisors stop telling us to stay out of extreme heat etc etc.....(ie;examples of red tape)
only if and when they no longer care about our Health and wellbeing
izabs, well i don't believe the govt is concerned with the health and well being of the unemployed and it will be interesting to see the reaction to the changes in the DSP. There has been talk of following what has already been done in the UK in regards to the Disability Pension, considering the NSW Lib State Govt has already followed the UK with the "bedroom tax" it wouldn't be entirely out of the question.
Often there is support for a lot of cuts/changes to welfare, forced work experience, work for the dole etc as long as it doesn't affect the individual supporting the changes, that opinion is usually somewhat different if they themselves are in the firing line.
