BRIGSY"S GIRL - what does the HELP acronym stand for? Is it the latest incarnation of HECS? or am i completely lost?

I want to know what Wayne Swan means about giving "the nudge". Does that mean "cut off payments"?

What i've heard on the news, sounds like we are moving to the American model of welfare.
Limited, timed unemployment benefits.
The resulting rise in crime rates and homelessness.

I don't know where the jobs are going to materialise from, for the young teenage mothers of one year old babies, and how childcare centres will cope with the increased demand. Many jobs that 15yos are hired for, are casual and involve shift work - that doens't sound compatible with someone who has family responsibilities (and might be bf-ing).

the budget ideas seem to be based on a supposition that there are many jobs AVAILABLE and SUITABLE to match with the skillsets and resources of the people targetted by the budget. The goal is admirable, but i am worried about the lack of reality, the lack of detail. i hope i am wrong, and the detail comes out in the near future.
