Today, I spoke against the Abbott Government’s cruel and heartless targeting of the vulnerable members in our community. The Abbott Government will enforce stricter measures and harsher penalties for those who may become unemployed or are unemployed. Subjecting jobless people to punitive measures, rather than helping them to address and improve their situations and therefore their future prospects for financial independence. These amendments demonstrate very clearly the contempt Tony Abbott has for the jobless. The Abbott Government is obviously stuck in a time warp where it views absolutely everyone without a job as a dole bludger. The Abbott government is increasing unemployment in our community by its attacks on manufacturing industries.
