Sure, but taking the argument at face value - test welfare recipients, identify drug users, shunt them into alternative services/cut off welfare - you're still spending vast sums to routinely test the 94% of people not using meth to catch a few users

Each test costs the govt $41.5 as per MBS, so to identify a single person using meth in the last 12 months you're spending about $2800 (test done every 3 months due to the half-life of meth in the body)

Being less generous, I'd argue that the intent is to deny drug users welfare, which is more likely to make the stated "problem" - access to employment- worse
