DOLE DIARY

by Van Badham

Lainie, Kim and Emma are young, smart, educated, creative and trapped in a cycle of crappy jobs and unemployment. Can creativity and self-respect survive Centrelink? Can you write a novel in a dole queue? And can Australia become a creative nation if its best and brightest are stripping for cash?

"a heady brew of razor-wit, sardonic observation, delivered in acutely rendered Australian dialogue, with humour used as a weapon."
