Australia - Migrants banned from welfare for three years after arrival
Sounds like a plan...
This article by the Australian Associated Press was posted on the U.K. Daily Mail website:
"Newly-arrived migrants will have to wait longer before receiving a range of welfare payments under a hardline new approach expected to save $1.3 billion.
It will be three years before migrants can receive Newstart or family tax benefits, paid parental leave or carer allowances.
The push to 'encourage self-sufficiency' among new migrants was one of the headline savings measures announced by Treasurer Scott Morrison in a mid-year budget outlook on Monday."
