Suicides for 2% growth - gov logic

Their stupidity and heartlessness never ceases to amaze me. 

So all the G20 countries have to put together some kind of bullshit "action plan" that would increase economic growth. Quite apart from it's economic idiocy which I won't even bother to go into, there is the clear logical conclusion to be made from this gov assertion:

The Australian government has cited controversial cuts to unemployment benefits as one of the key structural reforms that will increase economic activity by 2 per cent, according to a draft of its growth strategy to be submitted to the G20 leaders' summit. 

The reference to the jobless reforms – which include a measure preventing unemployed people under 30 from accessing welfare payments for up to six months – comes even though the changes have been blocked in the Senate. 

The objective of boosting economic growth by 2 per cent "above what is currently expected" during the next five years is the main goal of the G20 meeting, to be held in Brisbane at the weekend. Read more

People will suicide without money for 6 months. There's no argument about that.

In essence then, following their thinking to it's final end, the gov is saying that an extra 2% growth is worth people dying for.

What's next? Invoking the ANZAC's and patriotism? You should be proud to die so that your country can have 2% more growth?
