'up to $5k' short term isnt gonna go far

#raiseTheRate of all payments above the poverty line and stop with the strict criteria that even asks abusive partners and exes if she's entitled to help.

'There's also calls this morning from leading economists to boost JobSeeker & Youth Allowance. Are you considering that?'
Chalmers: 'The budget will focus on other ways to provide help'

Clearest answer yet that government won't #RaiseTheRate this budget

Say it: NOBODY DESERVES POVERTY

#Budget2024 #RaiseTheRate

Over 550,000 women have been dumped on JobSeeker & related payments

Over 42% of people on JobSeeker have a disability or chronic health condition

We're being starved on the lowest unemployment benefit in the OECD, yet the government is rejecting it's own advice to #RaiseTheRate

This Budget, we'd like all welfare recipients to join our inclusive committee

Use the hashtag #LeftBehindCommittee
Tell Labor why they must #RaiseTheRate of all income support payments

Your comments will be included in a report we're taking to Canberra

#NobodyDeservesPoverty

If Chalmers was up front, he'd say:

- we are OK with the lowest #jobseeker payments relative to av. wages in the OECD
- the govt puts higher priority on dodgy defence contracts and subsidies to wealthy landlords than raising a million kids out of #poverty .

So why the hell won't you #raisetherate , leaving millions in poverty and why won't you reform partner rules so people are not tethered to abusive partners?
You lot are all performative hot air.

#RaiseTheRate

Jessica Mason🇭🇲 🟧 They’re scared of increasing JobSeeker to the point it is needed to raise to - the same as a single Pensioner, because it will affect the rate of the minimum wage and entitle someone on that to some payment of Social Security. This is why workers now live in tents! #RaiseTheRate

Australia really needs to #RaiseTheRate of unemployment benefits.

Quote: “And then it chose to send people on jobseeker back into poverty and the Albanese government has chosen to continue that state of affairs.

If that sounds harsh, I refer you to the lines above – everything is affordable if it’s a priority.” #RaiseTheRate

#auspol

'deeply underwhelming'

Govt's $925m over 5 years:
- does nothing to properly fund frontline services
- makes no commitment to #RaiseTheRate so that women escaping violence are not in #poverty
- ignores the #homelessness that often faces survivors. #VAW

Analysis in this piece from Greg Jericho show that raising the rate of #Jobseeker would cost much less than some tax concessions. #RaiseTheRate #Budget2024

50% of Australians in poverty - worst in our entire history - Wollongong Uni research.

It takes 70% for a major revolution to occur. Getting there. One sufferer at a time, one homeless pensioner at a time. #RaiseTheRate #banlandlordsfromgovernment #Revolution #BanAirBnB
