#RaiseTheRate

Guessing Albanese’s Labor won’t act even while knowing people are dying on Jobseeker rates.

It’s Anti-Poverty Week this week, and I stood with colleagues and community advocates to remind the Gov that while 3.7 million Australians live in poverty, including one in seven adults and one in six children, the Gov’s priorities are clearly out of whack #auspol #raisetherate

STOP ALLOWING DESPAIR AND DESPERATION TO OVERWHELM.

“How much will it cost?

The project's price tag has not been revealed because of "commercial-in-confidence and national security sensitivities".

But, we know it will cost at least $1 billion.”

#RAISETHERATE

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

If you could ask Albanese one question what would it be?

Mine’s tbd.

Charities represent government policy failure.

Plibersek's insulting tokenism represents cruel hypocrisy.
Her government's welfare system is killing people.

New research shows 3 in 4 people in households relying on JobSeeker & Youth Allowance are living below the poverty line. We need to #RaisetheRate of income support payments so people can keep a roof over their heads.

Read the report from @theacoss.bsky.social and UNSW: bit.ly/4AWGMRu

The levels of so-called “benefit payments” are so low, they are a death sentence

#poverty, #homelessness
#RaiseTheRate #EndChildPoverty #inequality #auspol

Your regular reminder that #poverty, #homelessness and food insecurity are failures of government policy.

The Albanese govt has made the choice to not #RaiseTheRate, and to keep one in six kids in poverty. #AntiPovertyWeek #EndChildPoverty #inequality #auspol
