Yes, but only for the low-income citizens. Those who live upper-class and are rich in the millions and above must be exempt.

Thus could really help with the cost of living at the moment. I also think there should be conditions like you have to work a certain amount of hours a week etc

 @B56TP94answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but some form of incentive to encourage people to still work as well should be included as well

No but centrelink payments should be enough to cover the basic costs of living in the current economic climate.

Income support should be provided to all those in need, and at a level that enables them to seek to improve their quality of living/set of circumstances.

I believe when a person applies for the dole a list of jobs applicable to their skills should be noted, when one of these jobs are found but not taken up then 1/3 rd dole reduced, same applies if second job offer refused, so basically three chances and benefits cease if not taken up. I support those who need the dole but not those who choose not to work

Yes, increase tax on large corporations inc mining to contribute to covering the cost. Doing so will likely see a reduction in petty crime

 @B525QS7answered…2mos2MO

Yes, however people should work up to a certain amount of hours or have a health certificate that may excuse their reasoning for work
