This government is consumed with telling poor people how to live. Why do you care how I spend my money? ( Australia )

A number of Country's have this system running, inc USA, New Zealand & Australia,
In Australia People on this system Are Told what they can buy, Cigarettes, Alcohol & Any Gambling product is Blocked.
This is certainty Not "Freedom of Choice" That Right Wing Governments such as The current Australian one, go on about.
There is much talk of it being rolled out here in the UK, After UC roll out is completed (Dont hold your Breath) .
