“We’ll find you, we’ll track you down and you will have to repay those debts and you may end up in prison,” *enables* health and wellbeing, right Alan Tudge? RIGHT?
Who is tracking down Tudge for prison?
No one, he gets a nice early retirement.

Unfortunately @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social does love axing community care clinics for our most vulnerable, which means a decrease in mental health, vaccinations + educational harm reduction.

Welcome to Labor party racism, where Indigenous Australians Minister Malarndirri McCarthy votes for digital prisons via electronic monitoring aka compulsory income management:

Deaths registered by indigenous status 2023.
Prison rates where Northern Territory is right up there with Western Australia.
Northern Territory - average days on compulsory income management for First Nations is almost double that of non indigenous, which is still mindblowingly high.
"QLD and the NT are currently in a competition to see who can have the worst policies for First Nations communities."
And the winner @nobodyinpoverty.bsky.social is The Northern Territory:

As @oxfaminternational.bsky.social reports, billionaires are taxed at around 0.8%. If the Australia Institute were truly progressive, they'd be advocating for taxing billionaires instead of taking an hour of so of their wealth creation.

Abolish Mutual Obligations and #RaiseTheRate #NobodyDeservesPoverty". There's an orange circle logo with "nobody deserves poverty."

Kylea Tink is Food Bank Australia's new CEO? That's so great @nobodyinpoverty.bsky.social. Now she can pretend to feed the very people she's starving with racist policies that punch down on the vulnerable.

What a great question from Amy, @nobodyinpoverty.bsky.social who is funded by Andrew Forrest. How are NT First Nations with a 46% death rate coping on Compulsory Income Management, which Andrew Forrest's foundation funded?

"The best form of welfare is a job". @australianunions.bsky.social how that's working out:
Merivale underpaid staff, exploited women, encouraged them to have sex with customers, perpetuated sexual harassment and facilitated frequent drug use.

100 million meals over 10 years = 10 million meals a year. 3 million below poverty, so its at best 4 meals a year per person.

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 dark background and orange text. The main text is: 60,000 people missed out on payments due to IT errors (Crikey, October 1 2025) No money = No money whether it's a "suspension" or a cancellation" Minister Rishworth must take responsibility for the safety of welfare recipients Mutual Obligations MUST be immediately paused In the bottom right corner is an orange circle with a smaller dark text that says "nobody deserves poverty" and a small logo for the AUWU (Australian Unemployed Workers' Union). The image is a political message or a statement from the AUWU about welfare payments, IT errors, and the need to pause Mutual Obligations.
"Mutual" Obligations must be immediately suspended until the government can assure us that they're both legal and being correctly applied - not arbitrarily leaving people without the pittance they're expected to get by on

Budget deficit about $18b lower than forecast last year M By Maani Truu Australia was about $10 billion in the red last financial year, a substantial improvement on forecasts in the March pre-election federal budget, which predicted a deficit of $27.6 billion for the same period. Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Finance Minister Katy Gallagher will announce the Final Budget Outcome for 2024-25 later today. Gallagher says a key reason for the almost $18 billion improvement is that more Australians are in secure jobs and earning higher wages, which means increased tax revenue for the government. "These results haven't happened by accident, rather, they are the product of careful decisions like banking the majority of revenue upgrades, finding more than $100 billion in savings, and keeping spending growth under control," she says. After delivering back-to-back budget surpluses for the first time in a decade, Labor's 2024-25 budget forecasted deficits for the next 10 years. "Today's figures show that the deficit in our third year is around a fifth of the forecast we inherited from the Coalition, and around a third of the forecast before the election earlier this year," Chalmers says. "It's a reminder that we have one of the strongest budgets in the G20."
So...... you DON'T need to scrimp on welfare?
