// Work for the Dole CDP scheme a costly failure that's harming people: report - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): More than 340,000 fines have been issued since 2015 to people enrolled in the Community Development Program (CDP), according to data released by the Federal Government.
Roughly 33,000 people are registered with the program. They must complete jobs and activities to receive their Newstart allowance in remote New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
Fines are issued for non-attendance or refusing suitable work.
About 80 per cent of participants are Indigenous people living in regions where unemployment can be as high as 51 per cent. They're required to work 25 hours per week, for about $11.20 an hour.
