Julian Hill led a parliamentary committee that reviewed the employment services. What a breath of fresh air where he acknowledges that the system has let vulnerable job seekers down.

Per Capita had Julian speak at the monthly John Cain lunch. Most importantly he said only public servants should have the power to breach a person of their income. A system that ACOSS says is a major contributor to the 1.2 million children and young people who live in poverty. You can listen to it
