New laws allow welfare payments to be cancelled for people with arrest warrants – even before guilt is proven. The risks are serious, write Zoe Staines, Francis Markham, Hannah McGlade and Thalia Anthony.

New social security laws allow payments to be cancelled for people with outstanding arrest warrants, even if they have not been charged or convicted, raising serious concerns about justice, rights and harm.

In a time when governments need to learn, they continually demonstrate that they have learned exactly nothing. Government is about being the custodian of the well-being of 26 million people - this is not custodianship, it's incompetence bordering on negligence.
