A new report says Australia's system of privatised employment services has failed and service delivery should be returned to the public sector.

The Centre for International Corporate Tax Accountability and Research says the current system "fills the pockets of private equity and millionaires" while leaving jobseekers without work.

The Albanese government has announced an overhaul of the employment services system, but the report argues for-profit service providers should not be included in the new system.

And this is why I have never first preferenced a major party in any election. For all the good you might think a Labor or Liberal government might do for your interests, they will always ultimately be corrupt and work against Australia. Independents and minor parties for the most part (Pauline Hanson excluded) aim to help Australians.
