Welfare is a benefit to an entitlement and while i do not begrudge it going to help people with genuine needs or who have earnt it (aged penioners, tpis and veterans affairs pensioners) I do feel that australia is creating a generation of welfare dependants with one generation breeding another generation thanks to the baby bonus, not to mention those who rort the system so they dont have to put in a days work and yet still get the money in their pockets, all these people should feel ashamed, I have known people with down syndrome and serious defects that still hold down a full time job and frankly I cant see how people with moderate disabilitys (ie depression and aniety etc) cant be placed at work places that are suitable for their conditions rather than being a burden on society in general. If not this then certainly there needs to be stricter testing to ensure that the right people (those who need it) get the welfare payments not those who are just to lazy to get a job.
