I don't think that's going to cut it for people who are about to be homeless. In three months time they'll be getting more money, and the government is saying that it's supporting them, yet there is this cliff that they have already gone off. If people in that circumstance turn up to a Centrelink office and say, 'I'm about to be homeless,' what support is the government going to be able to offer them?
