I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

If there's always meant to be a % of unemployed so politicians & their media propagandists can play the 'look how many jobs* the government has created' then all rates should be above the poverty line #raisetherate #auspol #duopolyfail #mediafail
*1hr a week is not a fucking job
Tonight's #abc730 featured this story on "a modern and broken kingdom where poverty is rife and rising further."
One in 5 Britons are living in #poverty.
Before feeling too smug, note that in Australia it's 1 in 7 households [1 in 6 children]. #RaiseTheRate #auspol

#raisetherate to a liveable income
Keeping people at the bottom of the economic ladder in poverty is not something to celebrate Albo #RaiseTheRate #npc
Is it just me but I don't know why @albomp.bsky.social even bothered with his National address. Nothing useful to say at all. He could have announced the end of #AUKUS . He could have decided to #RaiseTheRate . Nup . Totally effing useless. #auspol
- Closing Pine Gap & other US bases
- Diverting ADF resources in ME to protect the next flotilla delivering aid to Gaza
- Expelling the Israeli Ambassador, or else have the AFP lay hate speech charges following the NPC address yesterday
I could go on & on, but #raisetherate will help CoL impact
If you had the courage to #raisetherate that would likley alleviate some of the mental health stresses caused by living below the poverty line & being endlessly monitored, fined & made to justify the paltry amount of money for unemployed people. Tax the rich FFS
Good. Now when will you #raisetherate

That's great. Now if the government could just #RaiseTheRate, so that one in seven households were no longer in poverty, and required to go into debt so often. #inequality #Budget2026 #auspol

True for #AusPol too.
#RaiseTheRate, fund public schools, include dental in Medicare, clean water for all remote communities, keep kids out of gaol, etc.
#raisetherate
I urge the Australian govt to raise the rate of welfare payments.
Put job seeker obligations requiring travel on hold while fuel prices are high.
#auspol
You know, do something to help people that are really struggling. Buy some kids some fruit like what happened in 2020 to 2021.
single best thing @albomp.bsky.social could do to undercut PHON would be #raisetherate
but if he or LibLab cared about homelessness, hunger or child poverty, they would have already.
Food supply and affordability is a govt responsibility not a job for charity.
#UBI #RaiseTheRate
Here’s the @antipovertycentre.org calling for JobSeeker to be raised and for mutual obligations, cruel and harsh punishment to be abolished, as well as the added burden of fuel costs due to a war we all will bear the costs of to be considered. #RaiseTheRate thepoint.com.au/news/260326-... #auspol
Will he support raising unemployment benefits and immediate initiatives to house the homeless? If not: isn’t he supporting the pain and suffering of hundreds of thousands of Australians? Like many existing Senators and Elected Representatives. 😔 #RaiseTheRate #AffordableLiving #Housing #JobSeeker
Society is failing people. People are being blamed individually for its failing them - by being asked on JobSeeker, a below poverty line payment that doesn’t pay the rent or cover living costs, to meet obligations they can’t meet with so many urgent needs unmet. #AbolishMOs #RaiseTheRate #auspol 🤨
Dude you might want to look at #RaiseTheRate
People who are welfare reliant are going down the gurgler.
Maybe a tax on the ultra wealthy could lift people up to where they have dignity. #auspol
Please also #raisetherate for those in poverty
Unlike big business, I don’t mind paying my taxes Jim. What I’d like to see is less families queuing at Food Banks, begging for handouts and skipping meals to feed their kids
You think you could make that a priority? You know, feeding kids and ensuring they have a home?
Just #RaiseTheRate #auspol
