Yet you don't hear people moaning once they get to Thursday evening that they don't have any time left to work the rest of the week, do you.
The point is, as a fit, able bodied, working age adult, you are supposed to consider it normal to spend 35 or more hours per week in productive employment, unless you're rich enough by your own means to choose a life of leisure. If you claim dole for so long that the state starts to demand something in return, and makes you work 30 hours, then you are still doing at least 5 hours less than someone who actually works and pays the taxes that subsidise your living. You have at least one hour in every working day to continue to look for work. I predict this programme will also allow time for interviews and reasonable travel.

Isn't it normal to expect wages when you work to, not benefits and what if the scheme doesn't work as I've just been listening to?
