Rise in benefit sanctions

[Oh_hunnihunni]

I received more respect and kindness yesterday from the security guards than I got from the system as operated by the Winz staffers. And they were only following their job requirements. The thing that got to me was the dental grant system is an entitlement, but all of a sudden the word 'discretionary' has been added to the mix which undermines that, and opens the door to a power play between applicant and system.

And that is dangerous.
