I’m Co-Chairing the Senate Community Affairs References Committee hearing today on the implementation of Labor’s SmartCard and impacts on people and communities on compulsory income management. Livestream here: aph.gov.au/News_and_Event…

Ms Tsorbaris, CEO of The Centre says of Labor’s SmartCard legislation: The absence of a sunset clause (unlike CDC) suggests the permanence of income management, which compromises people’s wellbeing & autonomy. It is not only a policy matter but one of ethical & moral responsibility.

What a day! The Centre was proud to march at the Midsumma Festival Pride March with FosteringConnections. We enjoyed catching up with many friends and member organisations, including VCOSS and Lighthouse Foundation. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
