| Young people who have been out of work for a year or more will be paid up to $15,500 by an Abbott government if they get and keep a job, in an attempt to cut long-term unemployment. However, experts say the money would be better spent helping businesses to take on long-term job seekers.
The Coalition will give those aged 18 to 30 who have been unemployed for 12 months or more a $2500 ''bonus'' if they find a job and remain off welfare for a year. A further $4000 will be paid to the job seeker if they stay in work for 24 months.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott also announced a relocation allowance of $6000 for long-term unemployed job seekers who move to a regional area to take up work. If the job seeker has a family with dependent children, they will receive a further $3000.
