WFA was an unjust attack
Whichever way you look at it, the WFA is now subject to some sort of means testing, it hasn’t been communicated well but that is what has happened. I’ll accept there may be flaws and personally I’d prefer such a redistribution to have come from the genuinely wealthy, but ultimately by removing benefits from those who don’t really need them the government has been able to raise the minimum wage.

MP’s getting fuel allowance and an allowance for asylum seekers are a totally different issues and I notice you’ve steered away from the farmers. Not as unjust as Clarkson and the rest of the right whingers first made out perhaps.
