@GreyCommentator It does appear a trend that people appear to believe that poverty is a personal fault - when it’s clearly systemic. We work hard and apparently aren’t worthy of down time. Everyone needs down time. Especially those not able to afford it. #RaiseTheRate #PovertyIsSystemic #auspol

@BenPhillips_ANU Of course centre’s put their prices up. 🤦‍♀️ Did wages also go up? - By a similar amount? Are the profits of these companies soaring while demand is still high? A need for #childcare shouldn’t be the reason people miss out on jobs and opportunities. #women #RaiseTheRate

@twtrrr “Business run government agencies charge government more to deny welfare recipients money than the government giving the money directly to welfare recipients” #StopPrivatising #FuckCapitalism #RaiseTheRate #Fuckbillionaires

@StuddertNatalie @FunnellMike It’s not a choice for many. Not a choice at all. And indeed the punishment is part of the process. A biscuits pack of simpatico enablers protecting each other while deliberately destroying people’s wellbeing and lives. @ServicesGovAU has a lot to change yet. A lot. #RaiseTheRate

@NobodyInPoverty A reminder. If you see someone stealing food, you didn’t see anything. #RaiseTheRate.

"He believed the rising cost of living was one of the reasons why food theft was up. "Everyone is feeling a lot of pressure, prices have increased, wages haven't."" And welfare has flatlined #RaiseTheRate #NobodyDeservesPoverty abc.net.au/news/2025-09-2…

@ChristyDanFan The Murdoch media have also been very quiet on the 4 years ALP have been in power for continued debt investigation, not implementing any of the RC recommendations and stubborn refusal to #RaiseTheRate

@not_my_debt @senatorpennyqld @Greens If the Greens actually cared, they would have insisted that Debt investigation and Debt Collection be at the centre of their political alliance with the Australian Labor Party. Instead, they postulate on committees and social media, whilst people remain in poverty. #RaiseTheRate

@Pleasure_Lab Do it...#RaiseTheRate

@JoanneRyanLalor How about you #RaisetheRate and help those who are jobless as well.

@DavidPocock Can we also lift people out of the impacts of systemic poverty creation? And ensure healthcare for all who need, on a triage basis, and no co-pay for necessary services and tests and overly expensive medication. Can we #RaiseTheRate and tackle #RentersRights breaches seriously?

No wonder we can't keep up - CPI excluding volatile items and holiday travel rose 3.4 per cent in the 12 months to August, compared to a 3.2 per cent rise in the 12 months to July. #NobodyDeservesPoverty #RaiseTheRate abs.gov.au/media-centre/m…

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. #CommitToALivingWage

If you can’t pay I guess the lack of diagnosis means they’re not negligent hey? 😳 No co-pay healthcare that’s systemic negligence, not #healthcare. #auspol #RaiseTheRate Health matters. #MedicareForAll

@halcionandon Nobody is safe until everyone is. #auspol #HealthcareForAll #RaiseTheRate stop blaming the victims for the excesses of the ridiculously wealthy having a “lend”. This countries bounties, private and public, belong in the main as for our “common-wealth”. Safety nets matter. #auspol

Sept 20 may be Indexation (not and Increase) day, but we don't see the full amount for a month... #RaiseTheRate #NobodyDeservesPoverty #NotACashSplash

@Pleasure_Lab @BelindaJones68 Hear, hear. #RaiseTheRate

Finally through, and where the law intersects with questions that branch into criminal advice may be available. Thank goodness for that. An appointment booked for next week and some pointy briefs to prepare. #CareEconomy - worth a lot more than #JobSeeker #RaiseTheRate #auspol

@Daveonwheelsd2d @AmandaRishworth And this is just for a chance at a minimum wage for a casual hire who is expected to pay for their own tickets and training on JobSeeker - with this kind of work as their what? Highest aspiration? Guaranteed to keep them impoverished and in serious housing stress. #RaiseTheRate
