"'cruel' green paper"
"not for turning"
Heather Humphreys defended her record on disability matters following strong criticism over support for a green paper that would increase entitlement checks on vulnerable people. A senator with a severely disabled son labeled the proposed measures 'cruel' and characterized Humphreys as unwilling to change course, saying she was 'not for turning' on the proposals. The green paper's measures would step up entitlement checks and eligibility reviews, raising concerns about potential stress and hardship for severely disabled claimants. The exchange highlighted tensions between administrative oversight and protection of vulnerable citizens' rights and well-being, with debate focused on policy impacts rather than intentions.
