The budget reveals what Australia's governments actually care about. And Labor has chosen to keep jobseekers in poverty | Greg Jericho dlvr.it/T6Hp3c
absolutely bonkers to hold a national cabinet meeting about family violence and not announce an increase to base funding for family violence services. existing staff earn shit wages, leading to attrition, and there aren’t enough staff positions to meet service demands
absolutely bonkers to hold a national cabinet meeting about family violence and not announce that you’re abolishing partner income tests for social security payments. financial independence is crucial
absolutely bonkers to hold a national cabinet meeting about family violence and not announce that you’ll massively scale up acquisition and building of public housing and crisis accommodation so people have somewhere to fucking go
absolutely fucking bonkers and shameful to hold a national cabinet meeting about family violence and not announce that you’ll stop fucking taking people’s kids away if they’re trapped in a family violence situation
“Want to solve our mental health crisis? You can start by ensuring the people with disability who live in poverty, many with psychosocial disabilities who rely on jobseeker to live, have enough money to pay for their medications & food,” @EDesmarchelier theguardian.com/australia-news…
"It may not have been what experts asked for, but it does make for a better headline" said the PM
The Leaving Violence Program announced today will make permanent 2 trial programs (one for citizens and permanent residents and a separate program for temp. visa holders). It will commence in mid-2025. Payment amounts will be indexed to CPI. pm.gov.au/media/helping-…
Note that the current Escaping Violence Payment supports those who have experienced intimate partner violence. Those who have experienced a different form of family and domestic violence are not eligible.
Any journalists interested in doing their jobs might like to ask government what they're doing about the glaring eligibility flaws in the EVP which give women no hope of being able to leave. Government has known about all this for a full year x.com/jeremypoxon/st…

General reminder - politicians are not your friends and should be held to account and criticised when they fall short. Doing so is not an endorsement of anyone else or another party. You should want your politicians to learn, to be better and work towards solutions.
Less than two weeks until the next budget. NUS will be protesting outside parliament at 1pm on 14 May, the day of the budget, calling for payments to the poverty line, public housing for all and free education. See you there!
If you believe people affected by policies are the real experts in them, you must give the staunch abolitionists at the National Network of Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls a follow ✊

"PM has told attendees at a march against domestic violence his government 'must do better'" So if his govt fails to #RaiseTheRate of welfare payments - and leaves millions of women in #poverty and financially vulnerable - we'll know it's just talk. abc.net.au/news/2024-04-2…
Will you be abolishing the insane welfare restrictions that rob women of financial independence and building crisis and long-term public housing? Or will it be something a little more ribbon-based? Perhaps a white paper or a taskforce?

@antipovertycent @inclusionoz An organisation that needs a shout out in helping me is @InvisibleDisab3 , Kind, helpful, Just Soooo helpful.
Have to chuckle at this bit in the EIAC report, classic Australian welfare policy discourse "The system should be built upon proportionate universalism principles and particularly focus on improving supports for families with the lowest incomes or with extra needs."
If you believe people affected by policies are the real experts in them, you must give the staunch abolitionists at the National Network of Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls a follow ✊
