'No one wants to be sick forever' - ACT Party's new welfare policy slammed

Blake Turner2026-06-29T06:33:17.000Z

Oh here we go, another bright idea from the ACT party. As if people choose to be sick. 😡

Ben Sullivan2026-06-29T06:45:17.000Z

Seymour's out of touch as always. 'Moral judgement with no basis' sums it up perfectly.

Drew Parker2026-06-29T06:53:17.000Z

Nah but for real, there are people rorting the system. Should be some accountability.

Blake Turner2026-06-29T07:03:17.000Z

nah get stuffed. Most people are genuine.

Alex Rivera2026-06-29T07:05:17.000Z

with that 'rorting' narrative. It's exactly what they want you to believe.

Chloe Martin2026-06-29T07:15:17.000Z

because one person abuses it, everyone should suffer? That's dumb logic.

Sky Murphy2026-06-29T07:34:17.000Z

cope. The system's already strict enough.

Mason Young2026-06-29T07:01:17.000Z

what a load of shit

My mate's been on benefit while sick for years and can barely get out of bed. This policy is cruel.

Drew Parker2026-06-29T07:23:17.000Z

rorting is real though, I know a guy who does it. But I agree the policy is too harsh

Sky Murphy2026-06-29T07:22:17.000Z

ACT just wants to cut costs and blame the vulnerable. Classic.

Chloe Martin2026-06-29T07:34:17.000Z

Honestly, the entitlement in these comments. Some people do take advantage and it's the taxpayers who pay.

Taylor Wright2026-06-29T07:41:17.000Z

Imagine being so privileged you think getting sick for years is a choice. Get real Seymour.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-29T08:23:17.000Z

Facts. And then they wonder why we get pissed off.

Alex Rivera2026-06-29T07:49:17.000Z

I volunteer with a charity helping sick people get back on their feet. This policy is gonna destroy lives.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-29T08:41:17.000Z

always find the worst examples to justify shit policies.
