Coalition accused of hiding welfare compliance data in jobseeker report

Greens describe as 'abysmal' report that avoids scrutiny by excluding data breakdowns

Labor and the Greens have accused the Morrison government of deliberately avoiding scrutiny of its new welfare compliance regime after an "abysmal" official report excluded data that has been disclosed every three months for a decade.

The jobseeker compliance data report, which was published on Tuesday, has been the subject of a political fight after the government refused to release it for more than six months, including under freedom of information, and instead provided selected statistics to some media outlets.
