Ms O'Dwyer said the community expected job seekers receiving welfare to do everything they could to find a job. But Greens Senator Rachel Siewert questioned how long-term unemployed people would be able to afford internet to access the new digital platform.

Tweets don't kill people - guns kill peopleTo blame Facebook is the same as blaming a paint company for graffiti or the inventors of paper for Mein Kampf. If you go on social media to spread poison you are the problem not the keyboard in front of you. Just stop it.
