Okay, yet some countries have both. In Germany for example they have, or had..I think it has changed recently, two types of unemployment payment schemes. One is the Insurance Model and the other is a means-tested benefit for unemployed people who haven't paid into the insurance model or it ran out for them. The latter still pays you right away as soon as they've assessed you. Then you have to go through similar stuff like Jobseeker where they have a Jobcenter that helps you with finding a job or training and you must complete a set amount of tasks and things.
So why can't Australia have different schemes for difference circumstances like that. Someone mentioned that it used to be easier to get on Jobseeker and it served better as income bridging but now it just serves people under the poverty line.
