However, in a cynical move, Daniel Andrews included this compensation scheme in the bill that will also tear apart the CFA. If Daniel Andrews had even a shred of decency he would immediately split these bills so that all parliamentarians can work together and put people before politics.

cutting welfare help will only hurt the community more
Regarding the Liberal Party trying to make welfare payments more streamlined, this is all very well stopping payments to welfare groups. Unfortunately, this is a very debatable question as there is not enough work to go around, and I believe that cutting out the dole after a certain time is not the answer to this problem. It will only create more problems. We will end up with more robberies, theft and crime. People cannot live without monies in their pockets. Crime will be greater, people begging in the streets. Surely, the government must know this is not the solution. There are a lot of people in despair as trying to get work is next to nil. Perhaps a solution to this problem is sharing the jobs. I believe most people are generally looking for work. Yes, we must cut out the rorts like single parents claiming to be single, and help those on drugs etc, but don't put all unemployed in the same box; most are genuinely looking for work. I take note that the Victorian government is moving work to Ballarat with a fair few jobs to be available. So please make these jobs available to the unemployed. Train them and give them opportunity. I am quite sure they will be capable of holding down a job.
