Yes, these may be 'once-in-a-generation' reforms. But for those 'languishing' in the system without the help they need, there's much more still to be done. @ACUmedia https://t.co/Cx4gwwiJox

Labor’s JobSeeker reforms are a welcome step – but so far, fall short of a radical rebuild https://t.co/nGYr5v4WoN via @ConversationEDU

There are five payment suspensions a minute. And the government can’t say if they’re legal: https://t.co/msnCrA1FwE

Huge story here. Daniel had his payments illegally cancelled by the Mutual Obligations system. After years of bravely fighting, he exposed the error and won the backpay he was always legally entitled to.

@DanielT99875112 @maximumwelfare Sorry you had such a shit time and no wonder you were frustrated. Sounds like they found their first review was wrong because at the time they weren't aware of the 42am cancellation decision problem. Thanks for sharing it's helpful for ppl who've been advocating on this stuff.

[Simone Casey @simonecasey]

@DanielT99875112 @maximumwelfare This is odd, because a review usually has to be within 13 weeks of the original decision, I think. This is a 42AM case coz the cancellation was dated 28 days after the MO decision, not the reconnection notification.

[Simone Casey @simonecasey]

@JeremyPoxon Not surprising given the focus on compliance decisions being potentially unlawful at the moment

In the week of the Robodebt doco, why wont the government publish the figures - if there was transparency we would not be left doing our own math https://t.co/UsIfDY4dWw

More detailed analysis on the TCF issues in this blog

[Power to Persuade @PowerToPersuade]

New post @simonecasey explains why not shutting down the TCF, including payment suspensions, is a form of administrative evil because providers interests have been prioritised over the rights of people routinely subject to abusive provider practices.https://t.co/hs74Tpkmw3

[NobodyDeservesPoverty @NobodyInPoverty]

Crumbling technology, design flaws and gaping governance gaps in the federal government’s welfare compliance system mean the validity of its automated decisions can not be assured as it impacts vulnerable Australians.

[Simone Casey @simonecasey]

It is morally reprehensible that the TCF system is still allowed to suspend payments so that providers can maintain their profits. Disgraceful

[CSMC @CSMCVIC]

Interesting that after @Deloitte finds the #welfare #compliancesystem is appalling in every aspect, it says it is 'too important' to abandon. Imagine if we just stuck with the right of people in need to a liveable social security payment @antipovertycent @AmandaRishworth #auspol

[Simone Casey @simonecasey]

For too long now the interests of private providers have been prioritised over the rights of the people they harm. Stop payment suspensions now! #stoppaymentsuspensions https://t.co/XmGIFgcaz8
