PQ 680
744 Deputy Olivia Mitchell asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if her attention has been drawn to the fact that many welfare recipients were surprised to find that they were not due their weekly welfare benefit during Christmas week in 2009 in view of the fact that the previous week’s double pay could easily have been misconstrued as the Christmas bonus; if her further attention has been drawn to the resulting hardship caused by this misunderstanding; if she will communicate this scenario better in future years; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
