With the kick off of the National Welfare Rallies being our rally right here in Gosford, expectations are good for the rest if the rallies across the country. It is my intention that these rallies continue (and grow in number) until we have a government that understands that all people deserve a decent existance.
The current government thinks that imposing a fine of $55 on unemployed that miss an appointment. Is it a crime to miss an appointment? Isn't there already a set of expectations and requirements around benefits continuing? Does Scot Morrison think that punishment is the best encouragement that he could provide to welfare recipients? This situation is a clear example that shows the mindset of this government.
They will never, never achieve an socially equitable outcome with such authoritarianism.
