1. How can aGovt for the people stand by, go against its OWN specialist advisors and NOT #RaiseTheRate ? Keep its most vulnerable people the second lowest paid in social security in the OECD? Allow its Education sector to be the most segregated by wealth inequality in the OECD ?
Today storage unit gave me final notice. Saddest day. Guess it's time to say goodbye to last final memories of a life I once had. We live. We survive. We grieve. Anthony Albanese Jim Chalmers MP #RaiseTheRate I'm technically homeless. Sharing a bed with my daughter. At 54. Caring for parents.
Given the data in this report, Anthony Albanese can't claim ignorance about Labor's welfare policies killing people, just like Robodebt.

Housing for ALL - for everyone here now and arriving. We need building to start now at three times the current projected rate - and we need to acquire and expand social (public) housing everywhere. #auspol Letโs prove we give a damn. #RaiseTheRate #AffordableHousingNow
The low rate of income support is keep Victorians in poverty & making it harder for women to escape family violence.
Why isn't the Victorian government publicly advocating for it to be raised above the poverty line in today's federal budget? #RaiseTheRate
You don't deserve poverty due to being unable to save money for that rainy day that the welfare system is supposed to protect you from

Treasurer defends budget to own constituents demanding more cost-of-living relief - ABC News
Jim Chalmers MP You say you have raised rent assistance by $60/FN since taking office. Since then my rent has increased $260/FN. #RaiseTheRate #auspol #housing abc.net.au/news/2024-05-2โฆ
I couldnโt have said it better myself, Greg Jericho. We saw #foodsecurity improve when #JobSeeker was increased during COVID. When you live below the poverty line, reliable access to healthy food is completely out of reach without #foodrelief . And so it continues. #RaiseTheRate
Criminal activity has become rampant for 2 reasons 1/ Cuz corrupt leaders set the precedent. 2/ The cost of living crisis is making people more desperate. Either way, it's not good for our safety nor morale. ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ #raisetherate #housingcrisis
Anthony Albanese Means increasing rent assistance to ensure nobody has to face homelessness while those houses are built. It means changing laws to ensure the false greed led inflation of the industry isnโt allowed to continue to harm Australians needing affordable housing. #RaiseTheRate #auspol
