THE END OF THE FREE RIDE

Proposed changes to the dole won't exactly amount to "work or die" but that'll be how the left present it:

Federal Workplace Relations Minister Kevin Andrews has confirmed that unemployed people will lose their payments from Centrelink if they refuse to take a job under the new industrial relations (IR) policy.

Labor's Stephen Smith believes the Mr Andrews has revealed the truth about the industrial relations package.

"What the Minister has confirmed today is that people will be left effectively with no choice," he said.

People will still have a choice, it's just that the alternatives won't be palatable for those with a history of choosing not to work. Welcome to the real world.
