There are questions over how the Government will tackle the benefit serving multiple family members under one roof.
From November next year, parents who earn more than $65,500 must support their 18 and 19-year-olds, rather than them going on the benefit - with a few exceptions.
Former Welfare Expert Advisory Group member, Phil O'Reilly told Ryan Bridge those on $65,000, tend to be on some sort of benefit themselves.
He says there'll be a complex interplay at the lower end, of how much Government support the parent and young person will get.
