Does anyone know if Australia's mutual obligations were inspired by the model used in the US? I was listening to an episode of Reveal about work requirements in their welfare system and it was eerily similar. If not for the accents, you barely would have been able to tell the difference. It had all the same similarities: private companies full of unqualified staff, useless and condescending "training" that doesn't help people at all, job "providers" claiming all the credit for progress people made on their own, etc.
