If Australia had a national dashboard for disadvantage, one of the brightest, flashing red lights would be food insecurity.

3.4 million households have food insecurity, with 2m actually starving.

Powerful research again from @FoodbankAus 👏

Some of our frontline services federal funding ends on the 30th of June. We cannot keep expecting frontline services to just make do with inadequate and short-term funding. They need resourcing and certainty.

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Again, the lack of announcement around any immediate funding boost for overstretched frontline family and domestic violence services, community legal centres and the like is a serious concern.

Aboriginal legal services forced to turn people away:

[Community Legal Centres Australia @CLCsAustralia]

The Cth must act now to address our sector's workforce crisis. We need and extra $125M in the May 2024 #federalbudget so people and communities can continue to access justice based on need and not on the size of their bank balance.

@mrseankelly Fascinating piece Sean, loved reading your analysis about nexus between working from home/office, big business and implications for govt and opposition.

@mrseankelly Really informative thanks Sean, I take it from your promotion of an event in Sydney on Thursday that you won't be at Conference this time?

[stranger @strangerous10]

ACOSS’ Cassandra Goldie says it’s “vital” we take all the lessons from the Commissioner’s #Robodebt Report which warns against continuing a culture of demonising people on low incomes. Goldie says the Commissioner is clear in her report, that this culture “must stop”💯% #ABC

“25 basis points” makes it sound so impersonal. This RBA decision is personal. It’ll hit families where it hurts - around our kitchen tables. Here’s my live reaction to today’s #RBA decision. #foodrelief #zerohunger #auspol

@mrseankelly @THEMONTHLY Love your writing and your analysis Sean, so thoughtful and incisive. Thank you!
