Govt. stigmatising beneficiaries - Lilith7 - 21-10-2024
They do seeem hell bent on controlling anyone on a benefit.
MSD officials warned govt that forcing beneficiaries to use card as a sanction can be stigmatising & is open to exploitation but govt will go ahead, "despite studies showing negative mental health impacts & noting that such cards are one of the most easily circumvented aspects of money management."
It would be interesting to perhaps set up cards of this kind for politicians; with certain things unable to be purchased...
