The Turnbull Government has cut thousands of jobs from the Department of Human Services (DHS). This has been devastating for staff and the community and now they’re making the problems worse by privatising social security to multinational companies.
55 MILLION calls to Centrelink weren’t answered last year. Thousands and thousands of Australians have been harassed with robodebt letters.
The social security system that sustains our community is crumbling beneath us – and Malcolm Turnbull’s solution? Privatise Centrelink by cutting staff replacing them with 250 outsourced call centres through Serco and bringing in over 1000 labour hire staff.
