Social Welfare Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

The Christmas bonus is welcomed by all who receive it but why do those on unemployment assistance and social welfare benefit not receive it? These are people who have been proven to have few means. I know that choices had to be made in the budget, but this Social Welfare Bill again proves that the Government prefers to hit the people who have little clout rather than tax dodgers and others.
