Yeah that's not a thing to celebrate
We need welfare above the poverty line and supermarkets to price their food to sell rather than exploit a necessity

An image with a textured background of orange and white features text in a large, bold font. The main text is: "310,000 Australians had Centrelink payments cancelled ILLEGALLY (Economic Justice Australia, Sept 2025)" "Mutual Obligations MUST be immediately paused" "Minister Rishworth must take responsibility for the safety of welfare recipients" In the bottom right corner, there is a circular orange logo with white text that reads, "nobody deserves poverty" and a small logo for AUWU (Australian Unemployed Workers' Union) underneath. The text related to the number of cancelled payments and the call for the Minister to take responsibility are in orange font. The text about Mutual Obligations is in black font.
Mutual Obligations MUST be immediately paused and Minister Rishworth must take responsibility for the safety of welfare recipients

A protest is taking place on a city sidewalk at dusk or night. Three people stand holding signs in front of a building with glass doors and a yellow awning. The protester on the far left kneels, while the other two stand next to them. The largest sign, hung on the building behind the protesters, reads, "STOP PROFITEERING FROM POVERTY." The person on the left kneels and holds a sign that says, "JOB AGENCIES SPENDING TAXES & HARASSMENT." Below this is a smaller sign that reads, "ABOLISH 'MUTUAL' OBLIGATIONS." The person in the middle, who has a beard and long hair, holds a sign that reads, "JOB PROVIDERS... PROVIDING JOBS FOR THEMSELVES $$$." The person on the right holds a sign that is divided into three sections: "Tick," "Leech," and "Job Centre," with the last section featuring a drawing of a building. Next to the person on the right is a street sign that says, "KNOW YOUR PARASITE IS >>>." Another yellow banner is on the ground to the far left.
Get on down to the Sofitel on Collins in Naarm to protest the National Employment Services conference gala dinner!

A white box at the bottom of the poster contains black text. The text reads, "September 17th," "8:30-10:30am," and "@HOTEL SOFITEL 25 COLLINS ST." In the bottom right corner are two circular logos. The top logo has the letters "AC" in a white circle on a purple background. The bottom logo is a yellow circle with the letters "AUWU" and a silhouette of a kangaroo on a red background with the words "AUSTRALIAN UNEMPLOYED WORKERS UNION."

I can provide the alt text for these four images. Image 1: Foodbank NSW & ACT Facebook Post A Facebook post from Foodbank NSW & ACT announcing their 2025 Giving Day. The text of the post reads: "We're thrilled to announce the launch of our 2025 Giving Day! Mark your calendars for the 25th of September, as we aim to raise 10,000 hampers for 10,000 families in need this Christmas. This year, the demand for our hampers has increased significantly due to the rising cost of living, leaving many families struggling to put food on the table. Your support can make a real difference in their lives. Early bird donations are now open! Head to our website here: foodbankna.org/givingday and join us in the fight against hunger and help us provide essential food relief to those who need it most. #GivingDay2025 #FoodbankNSWACT #SupportFamilies #HampersForHope." The post also includes an image with four panels. The main panel on the left features a photo of a young child in a red and white striped shirt, sitting at a table. The text "Foodbank NSW & ACT Giving Day 25 September" is overlaid on this image. The top right panel shows an open box with various food items. The text reads, "This year, let's provide 10,000 hampers." The middle right panel shows a woman holding a baby, with another young child nearby. The text reads, "to 10,000 families in need." The bottom right panel is a blurry image with the text, "Give an early bird gift today GIVE NOW."
A webpage with a light purple and white background, featuring a call to action to donate. The main heading is "Give to hungry families in crisis." A paragraph below describes the challenges families like "Selena's" face due to the rising cost of living. A quote attributed to Selena reads: "There were nights I cried trying to pack my daughter's lunchbox. I'd never had to think about food before. Suddenly, every item was a decision. Every dollar mattered." The page explains that the goal is to send 10,000 hampers on September 25th. A progress bar shows "115 Hampers" out of a "10,000 goal." On the right, a section titled "Give an early bird gift now" presents donation options. Users can donate a specific amount to sponsor hampers: "$38 send one hamper to feed a family for a week," "$76 give two hampers to feed two families for a week," and "$152 generously send four hampers to feed four families." There's also an option to "Enter custom amount."
A detailed Facebook post from Survivor's R Us Incorporated with a "CHRISTMAS HAMPER & TOY REGISTRATION ANNOUNCEMENT." The post provides extensive details about the registration process. It specifies that registration for Christmas food hampers and children's toys (12yrs and under) will be ONLINE ONLY from 9:00AM Tuesday 22nd to 6:00PM Wednesday 23rd October. It emphasizes that registration will close automatically once the hamper allocation is exhausted. Key rules are listed under the heading "PLEASE READ T&Cs CAREFULLY:" All registrations will be online. Only one hamper and one registration per household. Individuals must register for their own hampers. A Medicare card is required as proof of ID and for dependents (for toys). Pick-up is in December. Hamper donations are $5. Hamper + Toy donations are $10. Food hampers are purchased from Foodbank for $25 each (with over $100 worth of value). The post concludes with a link for registration and repeats a warning in all caps: "NO PHONE, EMAIL OR SOCIAL MEDIA REGISTRATIONS, OR PAYMENTS WILL BE TAKEN BY US - STRICTLY ONLINE REGISTRATIONS & PAYMENTS ONLY"*
A red graphic promoting a Christmas Hamper & Toy Registration event by Survivors R Us. The flyer is decorated with Christmas tree branches, candy canes, and red baubles. The text is in a large white box on the left and a yellow box on the right. The white box reads: "CHRISTMAS HAMPER & TOY REGISTRATION. 9AM TUESDAY 22ND TO 6PM WEDNESDAY 23RD OCTOBER. REGISTRATION IS ONLINE ONLY." The yellow box contains a strong warning in red text: "PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION CAREFULLY IN THE POST. THE REGISTRATION PROCESS IS ONLINE ONLY! YOU CANNOT REGISTER BY PHONE, EMAIL OR SOCIAL MEDIA. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US TO REGISTER OR PAY"
Donate $38 now so @FoodbankAus can charge charities $25 to buy a hamper and then they can charge $5 to the poor ppl receiving them! yay! the system works!

An image with a large red text overlay at the top that reads, "How is Foodbank selling expired sunscreen to charities doing the hard yards on the ground?" The main image shows a person's hand holding a box of sunscreen. A red circle is drawn around the barcode and a date stamp on the bottom of the box. A red arrow points from the circled date stamp to the bottom left of the image, where a text overlay reads, "Expired 2025/01." In the bottom right corner of the image, there is a small inset photo of a text message conversation. The message reads, "Damn it I only got those in last week from Foodbank.. thanks for letting us knoe." A small watermark at the bottom right says "phonakins.com."
How is Foodbank selling expired sunscreen to charities doing the hard yards on the ground?

What kind of government sabotages its culture, science & knowledge - what makes that nation truly great - just out of sheer spite against over half its population under some lunatic notion to destroy what they call "woke"? I'm not American, but I am a supporter of #BTPM, and this breaks my heart.

Hammer home the fact that voters see through the gaslighting, and they need to make significant actual changes to the living conditions of people in poverty. Demand the immediate and permanent cessation of mutual obligations. Tell them the best form of welfare is income above the poverty line, not a job, not a one-off hand-out, not a course where you can be gaslit about the obligations of workers to their future employers.

Poverty is most unquestionably a political choice.
Who would of thought that reducing poverty, unemployment and homelessness would be one also?

This morning I had a phone call from the TAC.
It went something like this:
Blah blah blah, pain relief request rejected, blah blah blah, legislation, blah blah blah.
