To Rebuild a Universal Welfare State, We Need to Scrap Means-Testing

<https://jacobinmag.com/2022/03/australian-universal-welfare-means-testing-albanese-hawke-keating-howard>

"When welfare and public services are means-tested, it makes them less
efficient and less accessible. Worst of all, by limiting access to the
“deserving poor,” means tests undermine the idea that social welfare is a
right."

Via Muse, who wrote "It’s a shame that Australians lost so many of their human
rights while I have lived here."
