I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

“Increasing [JobSeeker] by $550 a fortnight would not even get us to the OECD average”

We currently have the lowest unemployment payment – by a long way.

[Everybody's Home @_EverybodysHome]

Ahead of today's first hearings for the People's Commission into the Housing Crisis, hundreds of people told us they're skipping the doctor, meals and heating to cope with high housing costs. https://t.co/lcAN9QFdfS

[kristin (she/her) @kristin8X]

For those who don't remember, in 2020 people on JobSeeker had their payments lifted to the Henderson poverty line AND "mutual" obligations suspended for a large chunk of the year, with higher payments continuing through to 2021.

@AlboMP @JEChalmers @AmandaRishworth This is newly published data from the AIHW that is consistent with past data, but provides much more specific and detailed information to reveal how truly horrifying things are.

[kristin (she/her) @kristin8X]

People on DSP & Newstart were MORE THAN 30% of suicides in 2019. We are a FRACTION of the population.

Rates dropped in 2020.

Every decision to leave us in poverty & subject folks to "mutual" obligations abuse is a decision that kills.

SHAME @AlboMP @JEChalmers @AmandaRishworth

[Dr Ingrid M🪁 @iMusing]

nobody is asking how this show of police force impacts victims. Nobody mentions how fucking terrifying it is for victims to hear cops crashing down the door and arresting a violent male who may or may not be released within hours or days or weeks. This PR stunt is so so harmful.

[kristin (she/her) @kristin8X]

It is not a tax cut for all. Every welfare recipient and person who has under $19k income will receive nothing.

[Purplepingers ☭ @purplepingers]

Imagine how good it would be if the ATO sent landlords’ maintenance claims on their tax returns to renters for approval.

Like hey, did this actually happen? Of course not. Straight to jail. X

[Dr Ingrid M🪁 @iMusing]

it is always embarrassing when a rich person appointed by universities for their rich people connections decides their status magically summons up subject matter expertise despite having no qualifications, publications, or research track record in the field.

May I please get 2 followers to copy and re-post this tweet? I'm trying to demonstrate that someone is always listening 💯 #SuicidePrevention 13-11-14 (AUS number only) Just two. Any two. Copy, not retweet.

[Antipoverty Centre @antipovertycent]

Backbenchers who broke ranks last budget to raise the rate are no longer concerned about the rate being raised. More likely they copped it when they did last time and are too scared to do it again.

The announcement today is nothing more than a reheated National Housing and Homelessness Agreement from 17/18 — the same NHHA that the Productivity Commission trashed in a 2022 report. Any “additional” spending announced is likely to be indexation for wage costs.

[Antipoverty Centre @antipovertycent]

The bare minimum the government can do is urgently stop suspending payments while they figure out what to do with (un)employment services.

And they must listen to unemployed people.

If you support these two priorities, please write to [email protected] telling him why.
