Young drug users who have seen their welfare payments soar due to Covid-19 should have their Centrelink cash taken away to stop them falling into addiction and destroying the lives of innocent Australians, a federal MP is proposing. Andrew Laming's electorate of Bowman in Brisbane's east was rocked by a drug tragedy on Australia Day when Kate Leadbetter, her boyfriend Matthew Field and their unborn child were allegedly killed by a 17-year-old intoxicated driver. The Liberal-National MP is now pushing for reforms to the welfare system that could save lives by identifying young people who are using ice and weaning them off the drug before it's too late.
