***** "Everyone has the right to life...." says Section 7 of the
Charter portion of the Constitution. What does this mean to the Campbell
Fascists? Who are their "USELESS EATERS" with NO RIGHT TO LIFE and Why
are they considered as worthless? *****

Disability Support Pension even though many will have extra costs of living
with their disabilities. They will risk being breached and losing their
benefits altogether
Which means losing their LIVES unless the private sector picks up the
slack...unlikely. Does Australia have a right-to-life clause in its
Constitution like Canada has?
What if they "just say NO". Maybe as a collective action. Is Australia
going to begin the genocide of hundreds of thousands of its useless
eaters? Do you also have laws in your criminal code which outlaw genocide,
ie the "destruction of an identifiable group"?
> if their disability impacts on their ability to meet the work test for
NewStart. They will face endemic discrimination in the job market and a
social infrastructure still many years behind what is needed to support
people with disabilities in paid and voluntary work.
Is this leading up to "workfare", ie saying to the handicapped, "You can't
get a job in the competitive market so WE, in our wisdom will DICTATE the
kind of work you will do for your stipends, ie necessities of life?"
Given the similarity to what is happening in BC now this must be an
INTERNATIONALLY CO-ORDINATED plan of action against the poor and
handicapped.
