- I am sick to my stomach at the thought of how Labor has politicised cashless welfare and the lives of people harmed by it over the past 3 years. Full article in thread.
- 🧵 In 2022, Labor only made ONE concrete promise to welfare recipients: To abolish compulsory income control. There are still 30,000 people on a that literally harms babies and makes children sick, with no end in sight. SHAME @australianlabor.bsky.social. Thx @squigglyrick.bsky.social for reporting
- It makes me sick to mine that the rotten LNP government would bring it back and put everyone on social security in it. The ALP did remove most of it, and left those that “chose” to stay on it able to do so. The LNP would simply have the poor die in a ditch nobody else can see or hear them from.
- I am "spamming" the party that this article is about, which was written because only one party is in government and it is the same party who lied about what they would do with cashless welfare. If they got rid of "most of it" why are there ~29k people still forced to use it? bsky.app/profile/anti...
- The idea of people needing financial counselling when they are in receipt of below poverty line payments is so disingenuous it’s infuriating. No, people without enough to live don’t need to learn to budget, they need enough money to cover their budget. #RaiseTheRate Cashless welfare is a scam.Apr 21, 2025 16:15
- Many people claim that other people living on these low incomes just need to budget properly. Not one person from the former group has ever tried drawing up a budget for that amount of money. This paternalistic nonsense must be stopped.
- When they tell people on incomes below the poverty line that they need social services to help them budget before they are assisted to better or secure accommodation is found - they’re monsters. They are blind, dumb and nasty. #RaiseTheRate #RentCaps #HousingNow #auspol money for living needed.
- '...need to budget/homeless..' - What Imogen said. ✔
