#NobodyDeservesPoverty #RaiseTheRate ForGood

I have no problems with people eating lobster — go for gold if that’s your thing. But to Tweet something like this so proudly after the announcement to increase the rate by $3.57 is tone deaf to the extreme #RaisetheRateforGood

What would #FatherBob do? #RaiseTheRateForGood . #auspol

JobSeeker's $46 a day you say? $42 if you're in a couple, and the couple rate of DSP is only $53...

Great to stand with ⁦David Pocock⁩ ⁦Marie Coleman AO PSM⁩ ⁦Cassandra Goldie🌈⁩ today to call for this Government to #RaisetheRateforGood

I'm reading so many comments from Labor supporters who are threatening to ditch Labor if they don't #RaiseTheRate Please Anthony Albanese you must #RaiseTheRate ForGood. Not raising it is cruel and political suicide. Ditch the frigging #Taxcuts too. They are an unsustainable burden on Aus.

This morning I tabled stories of 58 single mums about how the #JobSeeker COVID supplement improved their lives. Hopefully the Govt will learn something, change policy & finally end this poverty by design

Anti Poverty Week begins today.

We're asking Treasurer Jim Chalmers to use next week's budget to #BuildSocialHousing #Everybodyshome #RaisetheRateForGood #APW22

This week for Anti-Poverty Week, we need to acknowledge that $44 a day is crap. The Morrison Government needs to raise JobSeeker immediately and permanently to end the cycle of poverty in this country. Poverty is a political choice. #RaiseTheRateForGood #APW21

Health Bud Well said Heath. That's the reality in Australia and I'm so ashamed that in a rich country like Australia so many people are living in poverty. #RaiseTheRateForGood

It's Anti-Poverty Week until 23 October. Today 2.65 million Australian adults and children struggle to survive on income payments that are well below the poverty line, that’s over one in 10 – including close to a million children. #APW21 #RaisetheRateforGood #BuildSocialHousing

For many in NSW, #FreedomDay was actually quite the contrary. The pandemic has shown that we must Abolish privatised 'job providers', 'mutual' obligations and #RaisetheRateForGood . I won't vote for a Labor party that refuses to make these a part of their policy platform.

#federalbudget2024 must include a raise to social security payments, providing immediate cost-of-living relief for people who need it most and targeted investment to grow jobs and incomes during a period of rising unemployment.
