Senator LUDWIG (Minister for Human Services) (10:11 AM) —A job seeker may lose a day’s income support for each day that the job seeker: fails to participate in an activity such as Work for the Dole, Green Corps, other work experience activities or training without a reasonable excuse; engages in misconduct—we could say disruptive or uncooperative behaviour while in an activity; fails to attend a job interview without a reasonable excuse; or intentionally behaves in a manner during a job interview that results in an offer of employment not being made. Medical, psychiatric or psychological treatment is not an activity for the purposes of no show, no pay—it is worthwhile to add that.
