Federal Labor Will Put Pearson Plan Into Action
Source: Australian Labor Party. Media Statement
"Federal Labor endorsed the Cape York Institute for Policy and Leadership’s welfare reform plan for Cape York communities. It also agreed to fund and implement the range of initiatives to make family and welfare payments and housing – conditional on school attendance and the proper care of children. Another key recommendation is to establish the first four Family Responsibilities Commissions – a local statutory body which would ensure that welfare benefits go towards the benefit of children."
