"David Clapson was found dead last year after his benefits were stopped
on the grounds that he wasn't taking the search for work seriously. He
had an empty stomach, and just £3.44 to his name. Now thousands of other
claimants are being left in similarly dire straits by tough new welfare
sanctions"

Is this what the Abbott government is aiming for in Australia?
