Andrews mulls welfare cuts for truants

Andrews mulls welfare cuts for truants' parents.:

"He says any such system would apply beyond the Indigenous population."

I should jolly well think so. If students are enrolled as full time students and parents are claiming that is their status then the whim and fancy approach to education needs to stop. There are so many school aged children around the place on a school day and a lot are shopping with their mothers. Are they companions? It's a sad fact of our life that the hip pocket effect bites and gets a response. Our children need to be at school.
