Interested to understand what “other priorities” Govt needs to balance in the budget that are more important than looking after ppl currently having to skip meals to survive on so-called safety net support payments. You can’t eat a surplus. ✍️ @TomMcIlroy afr.com/politics/feder…
To be honest, I'd rather Labor invested in #socialhousing on budget again to reduce the 44% increase in applicants on waiting lists nationally since 2020 than delivered a #surplus, but, I'm a Canberran elite that is 'out of touch with mainstream Australia' according to Sky News

The proposed demolition of Melbourne's inner city Public Housing towers is making international news. And so it should, its an outrage to be destroying communities to make way from private development. aljazeera.com/amp/features/2…
Disability advocates spoke on ABC Radio today calling for standardised national accessibility standards, as many people living with a disability are forced to live in group homes or nursing homes because of lack of accessible housing in the community. buff.ly/3JD2O2u
It was a proposal that would have given hundreds of Queenslanders a temporary roof over their heads, turning the 500 bed Pinkenba facility into short term accommodation for our growing homeless population. @MegESydes #9News
One of the hardest decisions I’ve had to accept since I started working in the sector is the Fed Govt decision on future uses at Pinkenba. Very disappointing and a big knock to the momentum I thought we had federally on housing policy. @qldshelter @NationalShelter

One simple welfare change the govt could and should make (and virtually costless over the budget's forward estimates) is to link JobSeeker and Rent Assistance to wages AND not just CPI (why treat jobseekers differently to age pensioners in that regard?) x.com/BenPhillips_AN…

Report from the Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee out today. Recommends substantial increases to JobSeeker and CRA and reforming employment services. We hope the recommendations are not ignored like they were last year. More at dss.gov.au/sites/default/… #raisetherate
What's not being done is scaling up #socialhousing supply to meet demand. Apparently it is not a high enough priority for the federal government to fund it on budget. A bigger priority is giving $1.4 billion to the UK to create submarine jobs for Brits at Rolls Royce #Auspol

We need a social security safety net that actually keeps ppl safe. Today's independent expert report to govt shows ours doesn't. Despite small increases in last year's budget, rates of income support for the most vulnerable remain the lowest in the OECD.

The ABS rents index is finally catching up with asking rents. Sheesh, it has taken nearly three years!! The @SQMResearch capital city asking rents are up by 2.4% for the 90 days through to 20 April and 2.7% for the March quarter. ABS suggest the number was 2.1% for the March…
Tax is too important for the too hard basket. It must be part of our strategy for the housing crisis and a fairer future for young Australians. Great to see @DavidPocock & @JacquiLambie on board for reform. I’ll review their proposals with interest. theguardian.com/australia-news…
Uniting is closing its crisis accommodation facility Reid's Guest House in Ballarat. It means a loss of 50 homelessness accommodation rooms in Victoria. abc.net.au/news/2024-04-2…
Over 12,000 employed Victorians sought help from homelessness services last year. 70% of those were women. Victoria urgently needs the government to commit to increased funding for rental assistance programs and the building of 60,000 more social homes over the next 10 years.
Every year @anglicare_aust do a snapshot of rental market affordability for people governments would once have proudly housed. Every year, their capacity to 'compete' in a market that supplied 98 out of every 100 newly allocated #homes to people who rent last year weakens #Auspol

It was a proposal that would have given hundreds of Queenslanders a temporary roof over their heads, turning the 500 bed Pinkenba facility into short term accommodation for our growing homeless population. @MegESydes #9News
Government's own poverty experts tell Labor jobseeker payments should be lifted to 90% of age pension. Also want: * Better indexation * Rent assistance up * Abolish activity test for childcare subsidies * Overhaul employment services #auspol theguardian.com/business/2024/…
How patronising is this review of James Taylor @smh? "grandparents are out in full force" "So, breezy and unchallenging it is with the stream of AM radio hits -all going down a treat with the grit-averse audience." Sorry I went long, obvs should be in aged care!
the FUNNIEST recommendation is number 20. @AusUnemployment and @antipovertycent repeatedly pointed out that no one on Labor's advisory committee... actually experienced economic exclusion. But boffins and columnists shouted them down. Turns out the experts agree.
One simple welfare change the govt could and should make (and virtually costless over the budget's forward estimates) is to link JobSeeker and Rent Assistance to wages AND not just CPI (why treat jobseekers differently to age pensioners in that regard?) x.com/BenPhillips_AN…
Economic Inclusion Committee report out. Recommends substantial increase to JobSeeker and Rent Assistance and reform to employment services. dss.gov.au/sites/default/…
What's not being done is scaling up #socialhousing supply to meet demand. Apparently it is not a high enough priority for the federal government to fund it on budget. A bigger priority is giving $1.4 billion to the UK to create submarine jobs for Brits at Rolls Royce #Auspol
More than 43,000 kids under 10 seek homeless support a year – what's being done for them? ab.co/3UzP12X
Labor's Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee has made its first report and - in a surprise to no one - made the same recommendations a laundry list of other inquiries and commissions have made over the last decade
We need a social security safety net that actually keeps ppl safe. Today's independent expert report to govt shows ours doesn't. Despite small increases in last year's budget, rates of income support for the most vulnerable remain the lowest in the OECD.
States outlawed or promised to ban rental bidding, but people still being priced out of rentals. Advocates say low number of prosecutions of rental bidding questions enforcement and effectiveness of laws. Help is needed to help avoid homelessness. @ACOSS @_EverybodysHome @TUNSW
