One of the consumer associations was forthright with the committee when it contributed to the hearings, stating that the proposed system basically punishes consumers and certainly does not reward good behaviour. The free allowance, as has been stated often enough, really should be sufficient to meet basic needs, and if it does not do that it will run into a serious opposition.
