And that’s a wrap on our #NSWPostBudgetBreakfast
Thank you to everyone who came along to hear from our guest speakers. Until next year!

We’re at the NCOSS Post-Budget breakfast this morning, with NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey giving an opening address on:
- importance of supporting community service sector;
- importance of building more housing & social housing;
- increased funding for community service sector.

Great community sector panel ⁦NCOSS⁩ Post Budget Breakfast. Focus of impact on children of cost of living crisis. #EndChildPoverty

Shadow Treasurer Damien Tudehope MLC gives the Opposition’s response to the NSW Budget. He says Labor’s $300m social and affordable housing package is “insulting”, and the Budget is “long on rhetoric and short on delivery” #NSWPostBudgetBreakfast

NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey pitches his Budget to the social services sector, saying he is “under no illusions of the magnitude of difficulty facing NSW right now” #NSWPostBudgetBreakfast

Our lived experience advocate, Emma Warren, tells us how the cost of living crisis is impacting her life. She now spends 60% of her income on rent and feels like she’s “choking” under the pressure and “can’t afford to be sick” #NSWPostBudgetBreakfast

And we’re off! Our NSW Post-Budget Breakfast is kicking off with a Welcome to Country from Melissa Stubbings from the Merana Aboriginal Community Association

NCOSS welcomed some of the investments in the NSW Government’s 2023-24 Budget, but called for urgent support for those living in poverty.
