Justice For Josh National Day of Action
April 19, 2018
On the 19th of April 2016, 18 year-old Josh Park-Fing tragically died at his government-approved Work for the Dole site in Toowoomba. Josh was forced to ride on the back of a flat bed trailer without a harness. Josh fell off and died.
After Josh’s death, Minister of Employment Michaelia Cash promised to conduct an investigation and to publish a report within a month. Two years on and the Park-Fing family, Josh’s friends and the general public are still waiting for answers.
This year marks twenty years since Work for the Dole was first rolled out by the Howard government. As a society, we need to urgently reevaluate our commitment to Work for the Dole and ask the question – is this the way we want to treat our unemployed citizens?
The AUWU will be holding events across the country commemorating the two-year anniversary of Josh’s death.
