Here we go. An earlier McClure review (1999) had a dedicated ‘Welfare Reform’ website that contained a Government Discussion paper, public submissions, media releases, Terms of Reference, the membership of the Welfare Reform Reference Group and related background papers. The Government advertised for public submissions and received 366 from a variety of sources including individuals, community groups, peak bodies and government agencies. An interim report was made available for public comment in early 2000, followed by the final Green Paper in August 2000. Howard did not adopt the recommendations. In contrast, the current review has no website, no formal terms of reference and no process for receiving public submissions. The Government has not given an indication of whether and in what form the findings of the review will be released to the public. Which sounds a lot like the audit we had earlier this year which was fabricated to look independent but was stacked with former Liberal ministers and right wingers. Prepare for the worst. And then some.
