I really don't understand the vehemence of your response, freaks. 

 

The article is not about being down on Housing Commission Tenants, it's about people who could afford standard market rental not declaring their assets and cheating by enjoying cut rate rental that should be available to more needy families.

 

I would've thought that a step in the right direction, especially in light of the recent budget cuts

 

I believe this amnesty is an annual thing and was held last year while Labor was in government as well.

 

Don't you like to see welfare cheats exposed?

My vehemence?

I'm still waiting for you to produce all the political spam threads I produce.

 

What? where did I say that? Where did I single you out as a political spam producer?

 

It is about slamming housing tenants to take the heat off the government. It gives no indication of how these people acquired their wealth, how they came to be living in public housing, or how long they've been residents of public housing.  

 

Did you read the article? I think you'll find it does.

 

It's not about exposing welfare cheats at all and no, I don't agree that we should publicly expose all those who have cheated welfare when most instances of so called cheating have been unintentional admin errors rather than deliberate theft.

 

They called in of their own accord freaks. Because of the amnesty. So they wouldn't be prosecuted. They knew they were doing the wrong thing

 

When the govt has lost 5 of it's members to the back bench because of ICAC this looks like a deliberate attempt to demonise housos rather than fat cats rip off merchants.

 

I don't think so. I agree we should go after the fat cats first, but I also think it's good to expose welfare cheats. Especially when those in real need have to go without because of them.
