Abbott will still give the millioniare north shore and Toorak doctor and lawyer mummies their $75,000 maternity leave, l guess all the disabled people on the park bench will be paying for it. www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/tony-abbott-unveils-controversial-maternity-leave-scheme/story-fni0cx12-1226699076504It costs $7,000 per person to put them on income management, forcing people who don't have any gambling or alcohol problems onto income management is just punishing and humiliating them for being on welfare and does no good except make coles and woolworths more millions as that's the only places that accepts the basics card.

SO from this article does it look like the liberials are planning a UK style attack on the DSP where everyone will get re-assessed and around 40% will lose their pensions or do you think it wont be a bad as that?

Disability pension 'targeted for budget savings' in welfare reform THE welfare lobby is gearing up for a huge fight on the government's proposed welfare crackdown, indicating that any slashing of the number of disability support pension recipients would be strongly resisted. Cassandra Goldie, chief executive of Australian Council of Social Service, said she was concerned the government was targeting people on the disability support pension for budget savings. "We know the devastating impact the previous government's cuts had on single parent families, with around 100,000 dropped down to the lower paying Newstart Allowance and losing about $100 a week," she said. Social Services Minister Kevin Andrews yesterday said the government was "just looking at the welfare system as any new prudent government would do. We know that there's been growth in certain areas over the last decade - for example in the disability support pension - and we are going to carefully look at that over the next few months, consult broadly with stakeholders in the area so that we can have a grip on what's actually happening and what responses we might make." www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/policy/disability-pension-targeted-for-budget-savings-in-welfare-reform/story-fn59nokw-1226762845110

Do you think they will create a single welfare payment and combine Newstart and the DSP of say $300 per week meaning unemployed get more the disabled less , could they make income manangment complusary for everyone or do you think they will listen to the welfare lobby and leave the DSP pity much as it is?

www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/treasurer-joe-hockey-seeks-deal-with-greens-to-scrap-the-debt-ceiling-20131201-2yjum.htmlDr Anthony said it would have to attack corporate welfare and middle- and upper-class welfare, ''especially assistance to the aged''. The Seniors Supplement paid to retirees too well-off to get the pension costs $300 billion a year. Family Tax Benefit B, which goes to families ''where one parent chooses to stay at home and look after the children'', costs $500 million more than it would if the threshold was cut to a generous $100,000. Ending the Clean Energy Household Assistance Package and unwinding associated income tax cuts would save $5 billion a year. ''Without a carbon price there is little need for the package,'' Dr Anthony said.

Yes it would be good if they cracked down on corporate and upper- middle class welfare instead of attacking those at the bottom and the DSP, but unfortunetley that doesn't sound like ABbott, hockey and Andrews to me. They sure ain't no Robin hoods, rob from the poor and give to rich sounds much more like their style to me, l think Dr Anthonys report will go straight into the Liberal shredder.

If they want to put everyone of working age on the basics card, how will it work if your housebound and do all your shopping, rent and bill payments online?

There was report on A Current Affair I think it was last week. That everyone who receives Centrelink payments will be put onto the basics card.
