Labor sets these payments and they could fix this tomorrow. Lift the pension and income support so people can keep a roof over their heads. Cap rent increases and build public housing now. Secure housing shouldn't be treated as a luxury.

After years of lower pay and unpaid caring, women often retire with less super than men, so that means they're more likely to end up couch-surfing or sleeping in their cars. If Louise's rent goes up again, she doesn't know where she'll go.

Louise is 71, on the pension, and terrified of her next rent rise. Her story is one I hear from older Queenslanders all the time. If you live alone, the pension doesn't cover living costs. No income support payment does.

The funding model is failing our kids. Australia has one of the most segregated and privatised school systems in the OECD. Instead of giving every kid the chance to thrive we’re entrenching privilege and worsening inequality.

What does the inequality crisis look like? This 👇 98% of public schools are underfunded – that’s 2.6 million kids without the resources they need for the education they deserve. Yet the richest private schools are charging massive fees while banking billions of public dollars.

YES! 💚

Great news! Congrats 💚

RBA news awful for the millions in mortgage stress. It's punishment for homeowners & profit for the banks already making $$$ on home loans. Tax the 1%, not hard working people. Rates hikes won’t fix the housing crisis but a government that treats housing as a human right will.

Labor backbenchers have been out in force the past few days spruiking "increases" in Centrelink payments. To be very, very clear: this is absolute bullshit. This is an automatic CPI adjustment, not an increase. Labor is still keeping people on income support in poverty.

Deidre's husband waited months for a special chair he desperately needed. It arrived two weeks after he died. Labor's aged care reforms are a disaster: blowing out waitlists, denying care and forcing people off supports. Growing old should be a joy, not a struggle for survival.

We don’t have time for this. About 250 Australians die every year from heatwaves. That number is projected to sky-rocket to 6000 by 2100. The major parties are choosing their fossil fuel donors over people’s lives. A green transition means a liveable future for all of us.

We need a pause on building data centres until we get the rules right - rules that put people and the planet before AI tech billionaires who are just out to make a quick buck and don't care how it affects the rest of us.

Why does it always seem to be beautiful Qld that gets the raw deal? We're sleepwalking into an AI catastrophe. Without proper regulation, a data centre of this scale will have devastating impacts on energy, water use, people and the environment.

This Minister is completely out of his depth, and this is characteristic of the government’s reckless and botched implementation of their aged care reforms. How can older Australians trust this government anymore?

For almost a year now we’ve listened to the Aged Care minister defend the broken home support assessment system. Now we learn he wasn't briefed on the tool depriving clinicians of oversight until three days before the changes took effect.
