Help our New Zealand families who come over a little more then others who get money for immigrating to Australia or help the indigenous get on their feet and supply more benefits for families

 @9KD5WJVLaboranswered…3wks3W

we should have social programs but it should only be for 18 months and the rules and regulations should be stricter to ensure able body people who can work are not just gaming the system

 @9K8TZN2New Liberalanswered…3wks3W

Both, a Return to work, Maintain to return to work and Return to Study programs should pay more over shorter time frames with more practical and swift implementation, while permanent long term welfare should at least provide a living wage; which is further supplemented and checked by NDIS on the basis of need.

 @9HKY377Liberalanswered…3mos3MO

More, but only to prevent benefits being granted to people who are able to provide themselves with a comfortable living

 @Blueflare45answered…2yrs2Y

No change in regards to restrictions, but increase benefits to the retired elderly, people with a disability, and others who are unable to work.

 @9338CF4Liberalanswered…2yrs2Y

More, by payment to a cash card for the user with restrictions on the purchase of alcohol, tobacco, drugs.

 @9336QH4answered…2yrs2Y

Fewer restrictions and more services (NOT employment service providers) that actually help all people, including school leavers, immigrants, older Australians, and people with a disability find meaningful employment / volunteer opportunities.

 @932ZMLZanswered…2yrs2Y

The answer is the mix of all of the options put together in varying degrees.

Each person/family situation is individual not the same dependant on each situation

 @92VD5XHanswered…2yrs2Y

Fewer for the elderly, sick and disabled. More restrictions and make it harder for those that can work but choose to bludge instead

 @8ZNMKB6answered…2yrs2Y

They should give out payments without having a list of requirements you must meet every month in order to keep receiving welfare. Some people just cannot find employment due to their mental state, environmental situation, etc. and Centrelink doesn’t care. It can be really stressful when you’re in that position.

 @8ZC8LCVGreenanswered…2yrs2Y

a lot of the time welfare payments made by the government curb its ability to invest in more economically and environmentally and socially benefical things such as increased investment in renewable energy sources or other environmental opportunities that will help curb the growing climate crisis. but it is essential that welfare payments are made to those in need in order to maintain higher standards of living across the nation and so i think its best that as of now the restrictions remain as they are.

 @8YGWY47Laboranswered…2yrs2Y

Implement A universal basic income and remove the welfare system and costs of managing welfare.

 @Yods08answered…2yrs2Y

Better regulated. There needs to be stricter control over immigrants benefits. Especially as overseas bank accounts cannot be monitored. Some are taking advantage of the system. A simple tick box declaring yes/no to overseas bank accounts is not good enough. There is fraud occurring in this section.

Keep it as is, but reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income

 @9993QKZGreenanswered…1yr1Y

Keep restrictions as they are. Increase all benefits from the current poverty line amount to a livable decent amount ro match the national cost of living standards

 @992BSPCanswered…1yr1Y

More, restriction such as means testing yearly and reviewing existing benefit holders to ensure that they are still entitled to the benefit. Also an increase on payments to the elderly and disabled.

 @98WZG7LLaboranswered…1yr1Y

The system needs an overhaul, because measures taken to reduce welfare fraud and abuse, has put people genuinly in need under the poverty line.

Increased verification for disabled pension, no cap on aged pension working supplement and reduced welfare benefits

 @933MBX8answered…2yrs2Y

I think single parent, deople with disabilities and aged need more support. People on job seekers who just choose not to work should have more requirements
