AUWU is proud to be a founding signatory of the @InstituteGreen #NobodyLeftBehind campaign.

Here's what it's all about:

"These times call for extraordinary measures from governments to introduce a floor below which no one in our society can fall ..."

"... to assure all people that they will not be left behind, that they will be cared for and provided with necessities of life"

#NobodyLeftBehind

"As the long and dangerous queues at #Centrelink offices and the unmanageable demand on the MyGov website demonstrate, the current approach, even with these important shifts, is insufficient"

#NobodyLeftBehind

"There is a clear and urgent need to introduce a Liveable Income Guarantee without delay to make vital support easily accessible to all in need."

#NobodyLeftBehind

"[We] acknowledge that a A Liveable Income Guarantee alone will not be sufficient, either in these times or in less troubled times..."

#NobodyLeftBehind

"We call for measures to ensure stable housing for all, including suspension of mortgage and rent payments, a freeze on repossession and evictions, and provision of accommodation for the homeless."

#NobodyLeftBehind

"We also call for a suspension of utility bills, including internet service provision and telephony. We call for a suspension of the cashless welfare card."

#NobodyLeftBehind #EndCashlessWelfare #CancelTheCard

"We call on governments at all levels to rapidly employ more people where safe to do so, particularly in health care, education, and government administration to improve access and equity to basic rights and services."

#NobodyLeftBehind

"To find our way through this crisis, we must recommit to each other as members of a community. A Liveable Income Guarantee will be a vital step towards building a fairer society both during the crisis and as we work towards recovery and reconstruction."
