"We're still not reassured of the department's ability to administer [TCF] lawfully. When the consequences of error are as significant as people having no income at all, it's critically important that the government take the time to get it right," EJA told @YahooFinance last week

The compliance scheme, known as the Targeted Compliance Framework, has been paused for much of this year off the back of revelations of unlawful operations - including EJA analysis that revealed ~310K people had their payments cancelled illegally.

Last year, instead of forgiving debts the Albanese government had no way of validating... they passed laws to validate questionable debts.
This is at the same time they resumed unlawful payment cancellations. Turn down the temperature for who?

IT'S HERE: From today you can get our new "Mutual" obligations rights guide – digital or in print
It explains in clear terms how you can & can’t be penalised to cut through job agency bullshit.
It’s for people w compulsory activities, community sector workers & other supporters
ALT Headline: Today harsh Centrelink penalties return – this new rights book will arm welfare recipients facing “mutual” obligations abuses. Art: Drawing of a person climbing a hill holding a job plan. An echidna is nearby. On another hill, on the other side of a creek, is a group of people. One of them is burning a job plan in a fire. In the distance are gum trees and mountains.

A few bowhead whales born around 1815 might still be alive. They were in their 30s when they first saw a commercial whaling ship; in their 60s when they first heard a propellor; over 100 the first time they heard sonar. I wonder if they remember the silent ocean.

Remarkable how Iranian nuclear breakthroughs occur almost exclusively in the run up to Israeli elections & prior to Israeli Supreme Court hearings Mr Netanyahu may be required to attend.
BREAKING: Netanyahu says Iran has now restarted its nuclear program and intends to destroy Israel within a short time.
"Iran has restarted its nuclear program, and it wants to destroy us within a short time," Netanyahu said an hour ago.
IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has warned that resuming the war this close to Tuesday's election will force the vote to be postponed indefinitely.
Netanyahu said on Wednesday that toppling the Iranian regime is now his directive to the IDF and Mossad.
