"I, an Australian welfare recipient"

This is such a hunbling read. We're all just one or two life events away from losing everything. Never assume it can't be you. Heart goes out to Alison and anyone else living in financial hardship. Govt priorities are out of kilter with realities. Not good enough.

#AntiPovertyWeek: We've joined with our colleagues at @ascsyd.bsky.social in urging immediate action by the government to ensure people have the right to work and to end the systemic exclusion of people seeking asylum from basic services.

We must combat poverty throughout North Carolina and help the people. That includes providing free school lunch for public school students, expanding healthcare access, lower energy prices, and more. #AntiPovertyWeek

1 in 8 people were in poverty now it’s 1 in 7 poverty is increasing I made this video #antipovertyweek
Critics say Labor government has failed to raise payments and help alleviate poverty Kristin O’Connell, a spokesperson for the Antipoverty Centre and a disability support pension recipient, said the Labor government’s failure to raise payments had made things more difficult for those with low incomes. She said in a statement the group had regularly heard from people who say “life has gotten harder since the Albanese Government came to power”: Centrelink payments are still hundreds of dollars a week below the poverty line. It’s no wonder poverty is rising. People can’t keep up when the basics are unaffordable and support has been frozen in real terms. … There’s no such thing as a responsible budget that keeps people in poverty. If you’re proud of balancing the books while people go hungry, you’ve lost sight of what good government means.

Image for Anti-Poverty Week. Text reads: "Single JobSeeker just hit $400 a week. How would you go if you were getting that little and were randomly not paid? 'Happy' Anti-Poverty Week! Abolish Mutual Obligations and #RaiseTheRate #NobodyDeservesPoverty". There's an orange circle logo with "nobody deserves poverty."
