Instead of an across the board $25/week grant to those who had children, they should have started a budget advisory scheme, and $25 MAY have been made available to families that registered and participated. That way, only those that demonstrated they needed extra could have got it, and that would be after a qualified adviser had sorted out their real underlying problems (HP, fines, power debt, tithing, family support overseas, drugs, alcohol, smoking etc. etc.) I know many of those who are floundering and not coping at present would have benefited MORE from budgetary assistance than just a hand out, and that would have been a better investment for them AND the taxpayers. So next year, will it just be another top-up and continuation of the cycle into more poverty?<br /><br />MarcWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-46880093021934597282015-06-17T11:04:23.110+12:002015-06-17T11:04:23.110+12:00One good reason for not accepting entitlements is ...One good reason for not accepting entitlements is it may invite a closer inspection of the sources of income going into the house.<br /><br />JCJChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875768024598278750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-59200987554802382052015-06-16T09:31:56.956+12:002015-06-16T09:31:56.956+12:00Entitlements aren't the solution.
