Card bid to stop welfare wasters - Really? With Newstart being up to 40% below the poverty line, are welfare recipients really wasters of their tax paid income? Are all welfare recipients drug addicts, alcoholics and gamblers? There are 5 job seekers to each job advertised and up to 11 including the underemployed. Is our government saying all these out of work Australian citizens are now drug addicts, alcoholics and gamblers and need their welfare income managed? Isn't this labeling and discrimination? Twiggy Forrest who is head of this new proposal for his idea of a cashless system for welfare recipients, is one of our most respected and honest businessmen in Australia (cough cough). Take a look at this report on his payments of company taxes http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/twiggy-yet-to-pay-company-tax/story-fn59niix-1226190333822 Should this billionaire who has never struggled in his life be the expert in welfare policy? Please share our petition. This discrimination against welfare recipients needs to stop.
