National Human Rights Consultation Submission 

AGWW-7R7DCQ 

Name: David Elias 

Submission Text: 

Young people up to the age of 25 years who are out of work and
 
still living at home are not entitled to social security benefits and have
 
to suffer the indignity of relying on handouts from their parents because
 
these benefits were removed courtesy of the Howard govrenment. In earlier
 
times these young adults might have been called upon to serve their country
 
by a somewhat discriminatory lottery system, but were at least given the
 
right to vote.
 
Even criminals in corective institutions receive remuneration. I think it
 
is a disgrace that this has been allowed to continue. It needs to be
 
reversed to give these young people their dignity and rights.
