It is unjust to force humans to work for social security.
It is unjust to make single mothers work for social security.
Such a policy does not take into account the current underperforming economy and mismanagement by governments.
Such a policy fails to take into account the cost that volunteer workers will need to pay for transport, clothing, shoes and other equipment.
It fails to address the opportunity costs and potential lost of income carried by individuals forced to work on a "voluntary" basis. Person who are unemployed could have spent time and money looking for real employment and getting involved in education and training.
In the case of single mothers who have been forced onto new start, being forced to "work" for the social security payments would mean money and time which could have been spent on the home and children will be transferred to third parties (who are not in need of the mother's care).
We, the undersigned, call on Prime Minister Tony Abbott to resist calls to force people to work for social security payments.
