The government takes efforts to reduce intergenerational welfare very seriously. We have created the Select Committee on Intergenerational Welfare Dependence, which will inquire into these important issues and recommend options for breaking cycles of disadvantage, measuring the effectiveness of evidence based interventions, the improvement of the financial capacity and security of families, and better coordinating services between tiers of government to support families. We are determined to help Australians live a better quality of life. That is why this government is focused on providing a welfare system that supports people who are most in need of help while also focusing on the economic conditions that create more jobs in our economy and encourage people off welfare and into work. Our tax plan will benefit workers who enter the workforce. (Time expired)
