Hat tip to MS for sending this one to me.
Is this government or organised crime? With a spot of money laundering.
According to its website:
So basically, what they do is take money by force from Australians, and in the process destroy jobs and productivity, and then help those whose jobs they destroyed to get new jobs.
Riiiight.
So how much does Workforce Australia cost? According to the annual report of the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, Workforce Australia received from taxpayers … drum roll please …. $1.4 billion with a “b”. or $1,400 million:

Consider mature age workers this holiday season
If you’re hiring over the busy holiday period, consider the benefits of hiring mature age people.
Mature age people have transferable skills that can be applied to most jobs.
They also offer:
a strong work ethic
an understanding of workplace expectations
knowledge
enthusiasm
flexibility
strong communication and people skills.
Mature age people are an asset to any team, especially during peak periods like the holiday season.
To learn why age diversity is good for your business, and the support available, visit the Mature Age Hub.
Unsatisfied with making young people unemployed with stupid taxes and regulations, the government is now providing advice on who to hire.

If the comms team that puts out this rubbish is less than 50 people, I will eat my thongs.
So doomed. So so so doomed we are.
And I might add, if you are on a state pension, you are able to earn a paltry amount, but you have to submit what you have earned to Centrelink, and that I can tell you opens a whole can of worms, you will find your pension inexplicably cancelled amongst other annoyances
So the best thing any elderly person will to work is for cash !!!
