Over 1 million people rely on inadequate income support like JobSeeker & Youth Allowance. #Budget2024 must deliver the top rec of the Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee & substantially increase these payments so people can cover the basics. #Auspol acoss.org.au/media_release/…
ACOSS, the community sector and trade unions are urging the federal government to commit to wholesale reform of the broken and harmful employment services system in next month’s budget. Media Release: bit.ly/44kSCoD Letter: bit.ly/3JCRKCc #Budget2024 #Auspol
"Australia’s ‘top 10 per centers’ own almost half of everything" - @australian coverage of the new inequality data out from the Poverty and Inequality Partnership: theaustralian.com.au/nation/propert… Full report here: bit.ly/inequalityinau…
Shocking wealth inequality stats out today from @ACOSS: "45% of the increase in household wealth since 2003 went to the highest 10% (those with at least $2.6 million) and half of this increase to wealthy older people (over 64 years)." @KTrebeck povertyandinequality.acoss.org.au/news/new-data-…
🌏@MissionAust & @orygen_aus report: Climate change & extreme weather hit young people in Aus hard. #YouthSurvey2023 shows 6 in 10 worry about climate change, 1 in 10 impacted by extreme weather. Urgent action needed to protect young people & our nation. missionaustralia.com.au/media-centre/m…

Unlike pensions, JobSeeker and other allowances are not indexed to wages, and have fallen well behind community living standards over time. Govt must #RaisetheRate and ensure payments are tied to wages as well as prices so they don't fall behind.
