How should social security legislation be amended to avoid future breaches?
The Social Security Act contains a range of definitions relating to a couple and the children in a family. The effect of these definitions extends beyond social security, as a number of other acts adopt the definitions relating to couples in the Social Security Act. That legislation includes the Family Assistance Act and the Veterans’ Entitlements Act 1986 (Cth) (Veterans’ Entitlements Act) (see Chapter 10 on Veterans’ Entitlements).
