Strongly agree

Yes

The Australian Liberal Party has historically supported drug testing for welfare recipients. In 2017, they proposed a drug testing trial for welfare recipients, which was later blocked by the Senate. However, this shows their inclination towards drug testing.

Agree

Yes, but provide treatment for those testing positive

While the Liberal Party supports drug testing, they may also be open to providing treatment for those who test positive. In their 2017 proposal, they included plans to direct welfare recipients who tested positive to treatment services.

Agree

Yes, and immediately terminate benefits for anyone testing positive

The Liberal Party's 2017 proposal included a provision to place welfare recipients who tested positive for drugs on income management, rather than immediately terminating their benefits. This suggests that they may not fully agree with immediate termination but are open to some form of consequence.

Slightly disagree

Yes, test anyone receiving money from the government including employees and politicians

While the Liberal Party has not specifically proposed testing all government employees and politicians, their support for drug testing welfare recipients suggests that they may not be entirely opposed to the idea. However, there is not enough evidence to suggest strong agreement or disagreement.

Disagree

No, only if they have a criminal history related to drug abuse

The Liberal Party's previous proposal for drug testing welfare recipients did not include a provision for testing only those with a criminal history related to drug abuse. This suggests that they may not fully agree with this statement, but it is not entirely opposed to their views.

Disagree

No, this is a waste of time and money

Since the Liberal Party has proposed drug testing trials in the past, they likely do not view it as a waste of time and money. However, they may be open to considering alternative approaches if evidence suggests that drug testing is ineffective.

Regardless, we should end all social welfare programs
