Standing up to them and saying they have not kept their side of the deal in not getting all the money they could have from very wealthy miners, encouraging more coal mining and cutting financial support for single parents without guaranteeing them the possibility of work. 

The money saved from cutting the single-parent pension is about the same as they got from the miners. Appalling.

Now the knives are out because they don’t want to admit or acknowledge publicly that they haven’t been doing their job properly.

As the Greens say, look after the people of Australia, care for them, don’t cut money and punish them.
