This #WorldSuicidePreventionDay we'd like to remind governments that ⅓ of deaths by suicide are people on JobSeeker or the Disability Support Pension. #NobodyDeservesPoverty x.com/antipovertycen…

they always send these "notices" out after 4pm, because it's more about arse-covering than actually informing people

SO excited to announce the People Against Poverty Summit in Magangin! 2-day summit bringing together ppl movements and communities to learn skills share ideas, form networks of solidarity, and imagine an alternative to the poverty crisis events.humanitix.com/antipoverty-co…

#RaiseTheRate Poverty is worse than TikTok for youth mental health!

Amanda Rishworth MP And? Where's #RaiseTheRate Amanda? Totes ignore that.

Your reminders: Indexation is not an increase Only 14% of welfare reciptents get Commonwealth Rent Assistance Youth Payments only go up Jan one Nobody Deserves Poverty #RaiseTheRate #NobodyDeserevesPoverty abc.net.au/news/2024-09-2…

Jim Chalmers MP It’s not “extra help” when the cost of EVERYTHING is increasing. It’s not “extra help” when it doesn’t keep up with those increases. Increase thru legislated indexation is not a gift. When unemployment is policy, social security is not a gift, it’s your obligation. #RaiseTheRate

Katy Gallagher We voted for you so you could lift those in poverty #RaiseTheRate particularly Pensions, Veterans, Disability, JobSeekers, get rid of punitive Job Seeker tactics. Get rid of colonial #AUKUS and strengthen trade with trading partners. Stop exporting to genocide states!

Labor's high-fiving itself for a $1.64 lift to rent assistance and an automatic $1.09 JobSeeker indexation. Does Labor expect people on income support to be grateful? More than 3 million people live in poverty - is this the best Labor can do? Claiming this as a win is grotesque

Government payments remain below the poverty line. Labor abandoned #raisetherate before the election. Say thank you to Labor for your poverty. #auspol

Could you live on $389 a week, including accom, food, medicine, transport etc? Cos that’s how much Jobseeker pays. This? It’s fucking disgusting. We need to #raisetherate

New from 💜 phonakins 🇵🇸🍉🔻 Happy "Indexation Is Not An Increase" Day phonakins.com/2024/09/20/hap… #NobodyDeservesPoverty

Jason Clare MP If that was actually true, you’d #RaiseTheRate

"The Rent Assistance increase for a single person is only $1.64 a day. Really? Is that enough?" Rishworth: "This has actually helped to drive down rents across the board" Ma'am....have you completely lost your mind

Jason Clare MP Labor LIES.🤥 #RaiseTheRate

Jim Chalmers MP Please stop with the BS Jim! We know that these indexation increases are legislated, & have been for years. We need the Gov't to genuinely #RaiseTheRate & stop coming out with these pathetic distractions.

Jason Clare MP Bugger off with your rubbish and #RaiseTheRate of all government payments above the poverty line.

Deliberately choosing to keep payments so far below the poverty line is beyond cruel. #auspol #RaiseTheRate

Jason Clare MP Jason, I think you're a decent bloke but you're not really helping those who "are doing it tough." Not to an extent that makes a real difference. Increase social welfare support substantially. #RaiseTheRate
