The Federal Coalition Government has signalled the idea of resurrecting the so-called work for the dole scheme and possibly including maintenance and canteen positions at schools, according the the [Daily Telegraph](http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/canteens-could-be-a-place-for-the-unemployed-to-work-for-the-dole/story-fni0cx12-1226811564600).

"The sorts of roles that might occur would be in maintenance around the school, for example," said the Assistant Employment Minister Luke Hartsuyker.

"With appropriate checks, working in a school canteens. Many schools struggle to find volunteers."
