Yay go Labor good Job Labor has quashed the governments tougher rules for job seekers on welfare. The coalition introduced regulations to limit the reasonable excuses job seekers can use if they failed to meet the requirements of their social security. Reasonable excuses would include bushfire, serious illness or death of a family member. Labor senator Doug Cameron moved a disallowance motion for the regulations in the Senate, which passed 33-29 with the support of the Australian Greens. Labor and the Greens call the regulations an assault on the most vulnerable. This is an ideological attack on the poorest people in this country, Senator Cameron told the Senate.
