'Dole bludger', is a uniquely Australian phrase, but we didn’t always talk about the unemployed in that way. At last count, more than 720,000 Australians were receiving the Newstart payment. Some of them could be about to face drug tests and income quarantining, if the Government can find the votes in the Senate. The Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the plan is designed to help people into work, but what if there isn't enough work going? Today's episode is about the birth of the idea of the 'dole bludger', and why there will never be enough jobs for everyone.
