Lee Rhiannon speaking about Income Management

[ellicattube]

What a terrible idea it is to give people budgeting assistance to ensure their kids benefit from having money for food at the expense of 12 beers for Dad 5 nights a week. Wow, this Greens party has some clever people at the helm.....maybe not.

@ellicattube The program, like most government policies on indigenous affairs, does not work nor is that a valid argument, just a mere stereotype. It should be pointed out that the management doesn't just apply to their benefits but to ALL their income... they are telling people how to spend their own money and that is just paternalism done over again - that is the nature of the Aboriginal intervention.
