Description
There are calls for whichever party wins the weekend's election to take a good look at the work for the dole scheme operating in remote Australia. Service providers continue to raise concerns about the scheme. They're now worried Indigenous people are leaving remote communities to escape the program and that young people aren't signing up at all. The Federal Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Nigel Scullion, rejects the claims.
