The REAL Dole Bludgers That Aren't On Centrelink youtu.be/WycF_7KRcIg?si… via @YouTube #auspol Also I would add the Salvation Army’s employment services. A charity that wilfully punches down and gets government grants to do so. Disgusting. #PunchingDown #AbolishMOs #RaiseTheRate #PUBLICServices
#RaisetheRate (instead of pork barrelling)
One in six Australian children live in poverty.
Major parties who do nothing about this - except make it worse - can not pretend to support 'social cohesion'. #AntiPovertyWeek #EndChildPoverty #RaiseTheRate #inequality #auspol
“They won’t mention the root of the problem: what’s destroying lives is systemic violence perpetrated by the government against people in poverty through the neoliberal social security system that targets and rations specific groups.”
What Jim R said. 👇
One in six kids live in poverty,
people experiencing poverty are more likelty to die early, and
this could easily be fixed.
But in #AntiPovertyWeek, the govt won't #RaiseTheRate because the political & media class prefers to obsess about tax loopholes for the wealthy. #auspol
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
Anyway, that's the so called "one size fits all" unemployment system that we currently have in place.
I really did think it was incredible when Rishworth kept using that phrase during the NPC.
But if anyone wants to correct (or add to) anything, go ahead.
Invest in public school build repairs, upgrades.
If I had surplus food I'd give to charity but I don't...also I know rich pensioners who access food banks, not because they need to, but because they can (pension card) it's a failure of government that a country this rich cannot #raisetherate or #taxthegas means testing might be a good idea also.
"Albanese took the credit...telling business leaders that he intervened after a text message from ACCI boss Andrew McKellar"
In #AntiPovertyWeek, if only any of the one in seven struggling households could text the PM and get similar quick action to #RaiseTheRate. #inequality #auspol
Hoping someone reads this and can help clip the seminar into topics for sharing.
Silence is complicity
THEY ARE IN GOVERNMENT AND REFUSE TO #RAISETHERATE
