Why am I reading post after post condemning this policy as heartless and cruel ?? The Govt is trying to role back 50 years or more of ridiculous social welfare misuse and abuse that has resulted in a whole generation of families possibly even more than one generation who are better off NOT working for a living.

Yes thanks to mostly labour and liberal social welfare acts passed year on year benefits have ballooned and are claimed by people who clearly do not need them. It's not their fault I mean why would anyone work if they can receive the same money or more for NOT working.

This nonsense has gone on too long and it needs a major economic recession to force the Govt in power to start to reform this monster.

So lets leave out the colourful language this present course of action is painful but is necessary to reset the natural order of things. You do not get more money for doing nothing than someone gets for working all week... That's just plain wrong and thankfully finally the Govt is redressing the balance and changing this outrageous aberration...!!!
