Caspian and Jayden know what it's like to live in poverty. On International Day For the Eradication of Poverty they remind us that one in seven people and one in six children live in poverty in Australia.
They were at Queensland Parliament House this week.

Single Mother Policies
Achieved under the ALP government, supported by the influence of the Greens and some fantastic independents. #AusVotes2025

[Anne Hollonds @AnneHollonds]

Australia is an international embarrassment for our ‘flagrant disregard’ of the human rights of children. Whatever the election slogans, governments in power have a responsibility to implement policy based on evidence & human rights.

The housing system is in ruins and needs rebuilding now! Too many people, including full-time workers, are experiencing housing stress and homelessness. #BuildSocialHousing, end investor tax breaks, #RaiseTheRate, protect renters from unfair rent hikes

Great to meet with representatives from SACOSS, South Australian Network of Drug and Alcohol Services and UnitingCare Wesley Bowden while I was in Adelaide on Tuesday - and hear about the work they are doing during #AntiPovertyWeek.

[South Australian Council of Social Service @SACOSS]

This #antipovertyweek, we highlight how a low income makes saving money difficult – and we’d love to hear your experience of what are called ‘poverty premiums’. E.g. if you get fined, you have to sacrifice proportionately more of your income. https://t.co/6eotY0uP93
