The National Employment Committee considers that the Australian Government is like the employer of those unemployed who are in receipt of government benefits.
The Committee believes that Commonwealth ought to hire the services of this “workforce” to the private “business” sector at whatever rate it can achieve while paying its “workforce”, through existing benefits, at the same rate an hour as other employees.
This process would continue each week till weekly benefits are exhausted or the employee is engaged as part of the regular workforce. The workforce would consequently be able to work part - time as regular employees, in a job of their choice.
It may result in up to $2 billion in additional revenue to the Government.
Employers and scheme “employees” would be able to choose to participate. Conditions of existing employees would be safeguarded.
