police do not need more ways to create poverty. That power tool kit is full.

Good intentions aren't enough to keep us from this slippery slope
It is a very, very slippery slope to start cherry-picking about the rights provided to people, even when you abhor the decisions they make.

police understand this well. Look at the new police powers to harm people living in poverty. Facing “serious” charges opens up whole new categories of state harm. That’s why police pile up charges on some and protect others from additional and collateral consequences.

Labor are sneaking through extraordinary powers to let police and ASIO cut peoples welfare if they’ve been charged with a crime.

This is an unacceptable power grab, and will harm families and partners of people reliant on payments to survive.
