Iwork in a large remote community that is severely affected. Through income management and no jobs people are being treated as we used to be in the early fifties. Jenny Macklin is clueless or she is receiving bad advice from people not qualified to give that advice. I suggest that the GBMs and advisers get off their bums and start talking to the people on the fringes. I hope some one liste

There are many ways to assist the people of the Northern Territory without this false and evil action.
There is never any justification for the removal of human dignity as a solution to a problem and it would never happen in the broader Australian community regardless of the circumstances.
Kevin Rudd we voted for you for one reason and that was because we want the legislation gone.
