We need to ensure Dad’s pay their fair share for their children and that the government stops taking a share of what should go to children. Great to see this focus on long overdue reform.

Proud to have been involved

Much more to be said (and analysis to be done) but for now: You are not unloved: An open letter to Indigenous Australians after the referendum abc.net.au/religion/freya…

Good to see this from ⁦Amanda Rishworth MP⁩ in response to ⁦The Project⁩ child support story 27/10/23 last day of #APW23 ⁦Anti-Poverty Week⁩, National Single Mother Families CEO ⁦Terese_NCSMC⁩ and ⁦Juanita McLaren⁩ 10play.com.au/theproject/art…

“The child support system is broken. We need a system where Dads pay their fair share. Some of them are not even putting in a tax return or minimising their income so the assessment they have is really small.” #EndChildPoverty #APW23

Minimising their tax or not lodging a tax return are some of the common ways Dads avoid paying their fair share - this contributes to 44% of kids in single parent families living in poverty. Preventable poverty.

Child support is preventable poverty - Dad’s need to pay their fair share.

Juanita receives $13 a week for 2 children from their Dad. 57% of 1 million kids get less than $100 a week. If they get it.

Rove McManus Terese_NCSMC Jacqui Lambie guest host The Project keen to see action from the Federal Govt- not another review.

Rove McManus interviews Terese_NCSMC - child poverty could be reduced by 21% if Dad’s paid their fair share of child support.

Thank you ⁦Juanita McLaren⁩ for speaking out about our broken child support system this #APW23 . Thanks to ⁦The Project⁩ for taking the interest. #EndChildPoverty
