## Resource

Angus Taylor proposes blocking non-citizens from key welfare payments, including the NDIS, until they become full Australian citizens. This policy, aimed at budget strains, impacts long-term migrants and humanitarian arrivals who contribute daily but lack citizenship. It echoes US policies under Trump, potentially lengthening the path to full belonging and testing public support. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
