The Community Affairs References Committee releases their report into the Adequacy of #Newstart today.

The senate referred this in July last year and heard evidence from from well respected institutions and think tanks & most importantly income support recipients themselves.
The report has now been tabled and the committee has recommended an increase to the #JobSeeker Payment, #YouthAllowance and Parenting Payment rates to ensure people do not live in poverty.

Thank you to all the community members who gave evidence at the inquiry.

For having the courage to come forward and share your experiences with us.

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.
