Thank you ⁦Juanita McLaren⁩ for speaking out about our broken child support system this #APW23. Thanks to ⁦The Project⁩ for taking the interest. #EndChildPoverty

Juanita receives $13 a week for 2 children from their Dad. 57% of 1 million kids get less than $100 a week. If they get it.

Child support is preventable poverty - Dad’s need to pay their fair share.

Minimising their tax or not lodging a tax return are some of the common ways Dads avoid paying their fair share - this contributes to 44% of kids in single parent families living in poverty. Preventable poverty.

Rove McManus interviews Terese_NCSMC - child poverty could be reduced by 21% if Dad’s paid their fair share of child support.

Rove McManus Terese_NCSMC @JacquiLambie guest host The Project keen to see action from the Federal Govt- not another review.

“The child support system is broken. We need a system where Dads pay their fair share. Some of them are not even putting in a tax return or minimising their income so the assessment they have is really small.” #EndChildPoverty #APW23

Good to see this from ⁦Amanda Rishworth MP⁩ in response to ⁦The Project⁩ child support story 27/10/23 last day of #APW23 ⁦Anti-Poverty Week⁩, National Single Mother Families CEO ⁦Terese_NCSMC⁩ and ⁦Juanita McLaren⁩ 10play.com.au/theproject/art…

Much more to be said (and analysis to be done) but for now: You are not unloved: An open letter to Indigenous Australians after the referendum abc.net.au/religion/freya…

Proud to have been involved

We need to ensure Dad’s pay their fair share for their children and that the government stops taking a share of what should go to children. Great to see this focus on long overdue reform.

Yes a simple but necessary change. So pleased to be working with Terese_NCSMC - week 2 and I’m all in!

Thanks ⁦Sean Kelly⁩ for a great column today. Child poverty can be addressed - we need public and political will!
