Sadly, from the way they legislate it’s almost as if the conservative Government’s welfare policy is actually intended to dehumanise and punish the poor and unemployed instead of actually helping them...

Luckily there will be an election in the next year and they are down in the polls.

Sadly it isn't just an Australian thing :(

I just don't get it. I mean I do get it, in the US it's largely wealthy donors pushing policy that is really all about cutting anything to get them short term tax breaks or whatever..... but damn it if you're really fiscally conservative then finding programs that get these people off welfare and paying taxes is a GOOD THING, but no... just cut everything....
