Well that’s one way to end #schoolies! Just waited at the airport for 2 hours, only to have my son end up in Canberra thanks to the savage storm that hit Sydney tonight. Surfers Paradise high rise one night, Canberra Airport floor the next! #sydneystorm

The latest report from the Poverty and Inequality Partnership shows that 75% of people support lifting incomes for those with the last, while fewer than 25% could live on the existing rate of JobSeeker. bit.ly/communityattit… #povertyinAustralia #AusPol #Raisetherateforgood

The Australian Bureau of Statistics National Health Survey reports 1 in 20 children ate recommended daily serve of veggies & 6% didn’t eat fruit daily. Before the predictable shaming of parents, let’s remember how many are struggling to afford fruit & veg right now. They’re in hot demand at #Foodbank.

We have joined forces with some of Australia's most important, and extremely vital, food and emergency relief providers, to urge the government to listen to the advice its own experts provided which was to increase working-age payments such as Jobseeker, permanently. #EndHunger

I couldn’t have said it better myself, Greg Jericho. We saw #foodsecurity improve when #JobSeeker was increased during COVID. When you live below the poverty line, reliable access to healthy food is completely out of reach without #foodrelief. And so it continues. #RaiseTheRate

Hunger shouldn’t be part of any family's story, but for too many, it is. 69% of single-parent households have faced food insecurity in the past year, and 41% are in severe need—skipping meals, reducing portions, or even going whole days without eating. #EndHunger #FoodInsecurity

We welcome the $50m commitment to food relief announced in tonight’s federal budget reply. Funding is sorely needed as we see the increase in the demand for food relief. This is a good start, but let's see what else can be done to solve this problem. #auspol #Dutton
