DEWR sought an assurance report on the Targeted Compliance Framework. They got it. It told them clearly that the TCF could NOT be assured. And yet the government continues to administer this unlawful system so it can suspend income support payments for bullshit reasons.

30 significant breach notices issued to providers since 2022.

“I did not dare to ask who had lived in the houses before 1948, who had planted the olive trees that grew by the roadside, who was being kept out by the guns & the barbed wire. I couldn’t – or maybe I refused to – imagine that land beneath my feet was also Palestine.”
