Coalition proposes welfare ban for non-citizens | Sunrise

Описание: The Coalition has announced a plan to block new migrants from accessing welfare benefits until they become Australian citizens. Currently, non-citizens can access 17 different welfare and benefit programmes, including the Age Pension and Youth Allowance, with waiting periods up to 10 years. The proposal would not affect migrants currently receiving benefits, but would apply to future arrivals, with particular focus on programmes like the NDIS where 8% of participants are non-citizens.
