A breach in Centrelink is a breach in humanity

A breach in Centrelink incurs a two months suspension in pay.

When this is finished it may incur another two month suspension, add infinitum.

I ask you;

Would you put a convict in jail and not feed them?

If not, why would you do this to the unemployed?

A breach in Centrelink is a breach in the humane treatment of people,

even if those people are seen by society as outright dissenters or just plainly a ‘no good dole blunders.’
