Breadline, the show by welfare recipients for us. This episode first aired on Monday 14 April 2025, with presenters Daryl McDonald, Jessica Harrison and Kaitlyn Blythe discussing the dangers and injustices of the Work For The Dole program. Jessica and Daryl come fresh off the AUWU demonstration in the Naarm/Melbourne CBD against Work For The Dole, and the team chats about the reported unethical practices by job service providers who rely on jobseekers for their payouts. Jessica shares the story of one welfare recipient who found her job service provider had added their name to her resume without her knowledge, and the sad story of Josh Park-Fing’s death on a WftD job site in 2016.
