If the Albanese govt doesn't #RaiseTheRate of Single Parenting Payment, they are just paying lip service to preventing #VAW .
If they fail to lift #Jobseeker to raise people out of #poverty and the risk of #homelessness , it will confirm they govern for the wealthy. #Budget2024

'There's also calls this morning from leading economists to boost JobSeeker & Youth Allowance. Are you considering that?'

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