Obligation­s to payer

- DAVID J MILLER Paraparaum­u

When I worked, I paid taxes. My employer expected me to turn up on time and be in a fit state and capable of working. If I had been drug-tested and failed, I would probably have lost my job. So as an employee I had obligation­s to the company that paid me.

The Greens’ policy is to pay the benefit (paid for out of my taxes) to those who need it but with no obligation­s for receiving that payment. So, I worked to pay taxes so that beneficiar­ies could receive a benefit, I had obligation­s as an employee to my employer (the one that paid me) but with the Greens’ proposed policy beneficiar­ies should not have any obligation­s?

Seems to me that something is very wrong here.
