Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2003: Committee and Remaining Stages.

 

It is very important that I dispel the misconceptions about the tax strategy group, which has reviewed how social welfare payments should be realised in the five-year period to 2007. However, the Senator forgot to say that it was a matter for the Government rather than the group. All the group did was cost the overall commitment. It did not recommend to the Government what should be achieved. There is a misconception abroad that we have rejected something when it was never recommended in the first place.
