It took a lot of questioning and pressure to get the government to give students the basic dignity of an increase to #YouthAllowance and to realise the negative impact their approach would have had on young people.

This victory shows the importance of holding the government to account, even when they’re adamant that they will not budge.

This isn’t over. We need to make sure people on disability support pension and carer allowance will also see a raise in this time of crisis.

#BREAKING – Youth Allowance, Austudy and Abstudy will now be included in the Coronavirus Supplement!!

Huge thanks to all the thousands of students who have fought with the Greens and others over the weekend and today to make this happen #RaiseTheRateForAll @NUS_President
The Government's circulated amendments in the senate to give themselves the power to do this and indicated that the Minister will regulate to include students in the package as soon as the stimulus bills are passed.

So glad we were able to get this done! #auspol
Terribly, those on disability and carer support payments are still excluded from the Coronavirus supplement announced today, apart from the one-off payments in the package. We'll keep working to change that.
