One Nation is committed to provide a "safety net" for the
disadvantaged, people in temporary need and the retirees in our society.
We will introduce a National Superannuation Fund, to provide
a secure and independent source of additional income, to supplement the Social Security Pension.
We will:
1. Provide sufficient numbers of adequate shelters
for the homeless.
2. Support and protect victims of domestic violence)regardless
of gender).
3. Maintain unemployment benefits.
4. Not tax personal savings and superannuation.
5. Have no assets tests.
6. Say no to death duty.
7. Upgrade age pensions.
8. Implement quarterly indexation of pensions,
Indexation on a "basket of goods" basis.
No country that seeks a good future can survive for long,
it it spends 35% or 40% of its budget on welfare.
We need to look after the genuine cases, where people have
fallen on hard times.
One Nation is intent on setting a time limit to unemployment
payments.
Jobseekers are actively encouraged ot attend training as
provided and or to take a job offered, or face the prospect of losing all benefits.
Skills and experiences gained will provide better prospects
of finding a more challenging job.
This will also be th base from which to build self worth
and self esteem.
