Wealth inequality hasn't happened by accident. Our new report shows that the Government is choosing to boost the people who need it the least.

It's time to turn that around and use the tax system to make our country fairer.

Great discussion of policy challenges to kick off WA 2024 Men’s Wellbeing Conference - Children, Aboriginal people, Prisoners, remote areas and so much more. A strong panel to explore the way ahead. #WAMWC

There is no budgetary or economic reason that makes increasing jobseeker (or other payments) by $550 “not fiscally sustainable”.

Poverty is a policy choice!

Lazy policy. Credit Suisse estimated last year there are 2 million millionaires in Australia. Every one of them got a $300 electricity gift in tonight’s #Budget2024

Meanwhile those below the poverty line…

"..whether or not we have a budget surplus tells us little about the worth of a government, what they spend money on and who and what they tax, does."

ACOSS CEO @cassandragoldie this morning called on the government to heed the Senate Committee’s poverty report's top recommendation to urgently act to end poverty. The single best way to end poverty is to #raisetherate of income support payments.

Good call. Better late than never!

$254 billion!! To the wrong people!! Indefensible.

[Anglicare Australia @anglicare_aust]

Australians are crying out for cost of living relief as rents.

But instead of helping them, the Government is going ahead with tax cuts for people on the highest incomes.

Our new report #TrickleUp calls on them to scrap the tax cuts and give the help to people who need it.

[Mark Glasson @MarkGlasson]

What else can we do with $254 billion?

Housing advocates have been warning of this collapse for decades.

In its current form Commonwealth Rent Assistance is lame and not an appropriate response.

“You can’t separate politics from the plight of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people … they are structural in nature,”

“What has been proposed is absolutely the logical and moral thing for Australia to embrace.”

Does anyone know who was responsible for the Monday morning handy work above Kwinana freeway?
