What I get from this is that he spends most of his time being tested for things.

Oh, and for purchasing alcohol and driving cars....
Wow.
Can't admit you got something wrong, so you're getting snarky.
You be you.
Er, no, I really didn't.
In fact, I emphasised that it was the most important sentence in my post when you queried that.
I made an observation. You're the one who obsessed about it.

If it were Andrew Bolt doing the misleading, you'd be outraged.
I did, at the start of the thread.

Facts are important.
Especially when you're a journalist, and that's your job.
It'd help if I knew what we were disagreeing about.

It definitely does.
Her claim is that this means that Centrelink recipients have NO savings. That is incorrect.
Oh, and I did the google search. Obviously.
Please pass the task of advocacy for change to someone who has a better understanding of the system and is less emotive.
Ministers listen to people who know what they're talking about; they will instantly dismiss emotion-drive arguments based on poor understanding.
...and when you look at all the qualifiers you run for the 618,000 people, not all of them apply to every one of them.
Again, the system needs reform, but facts are also good things which should be respected.
Oh, and yes, the system needs fixing.

If you don't actually know what you're on about, should you be writing about it?
This claim is refuted by a google search.
(Says someone who was on Centrelink and did have savings).
But even so, it rocks.

Whereas I found it's men who, thwarted, throw their books on the floor and storm out of the room...
My role at one stage was literally to tell the party it had stuffed up.
atm, however, no one knows how this will work out...but no one seems to have come up with any better ideas.
(including tech companies, the EU, the United Nations, all of whom are looking for a fix)
There was a particular problem which people want fixed (including most countries in the EU).
This is one potential fix for that problem.
You've identified other problems.
If you want them fixed, do some lobbying.
If the teen can't access social media*, then content, moderation, radicalisation, predatory business practices, advertising and gambling aren't relevant.
We assume adults can handle these things.
*If they can, the company risks huge fines.
Oh, bollocks.

They're using the existing information they already have and matching it to what you've provided to prove you are you.
