Here’s the @[email protected] calling for JobSeeker to be raised and for mutual obligations, cruel and harsh punishment to be abolished, as well as the added burden of fuel costs due to a war we all will bear the costs of to be considered. #RaiseTheRate thepoint.com.au/news/260326-... #auspol

Fuel crisis exposes burden of mutual obligations on people in poverty

Welfare advocates are calling on the employment minister to suspend compulsory “mutual obligations” for Centrelink recipients, amid concerns rising fuel prices will prevent them from attending compulsory meetings.

Society is failing people. People are being blamed individually for its failing them - by being asked on JobSeeker, a below poverty line payment that doesn’t pay the rent or cover living costs, to meet obligations they can’t meet with so many urgent needs unmet. #AbolishMOs #RaiseTheRate #auspol 🤨

It took Morrison 8 days to start stimulus from the Ukraine war that had a limited effect on Australia.

24 days into WWIII, Albanese has done nothing.

This from the guy who said he'd "govern for all Australians"

Budget 2022: Aussies to get $400 cash payment

To combat cost-of-living pressures, the Government is considering handing out cash payments. This is what we know so far.

Still no talk of "cost-of-living" (general profiteering and war-based profiteering) relief for poor people from Anthony "I Grew Up In Public Housing" Albanese.

Apparently all the relief needs to go to rich people.

Albanese is a class traitor, through and through

We were bought by the ALP’s promise of no cashless welfare card. If one promises that and the other doesn’t, the latter gets our vote. We are being abused and left behind and threatened with worse every election. #RaiseTheRate @[email protected] @[email protected]

#HomesNotBombs #RaiseTheRate #auspol What war is worth fighting if we doesn’t ensure our own are home and safe and secure? What values do we take from here to anywhere if we don’t ensure #HumanRights are protected and defended here at home? The economy doesn’t care our religion or creed. #inflation

Labor's whole conundrum right now is "We keep punishing the poor, as much as inhumanly possible, every single year, but they just keep saying they'll vote One Nation! What are we doing wrong here?"

A whole article about how people who've been "left behind" are turning to One Nation, not one mention of socioeconomics, not one mention of the crippling social security and disability systems in Australia.

Just talking about workers, and educating people. Get fucked.

People were dumb and working when they voted for you before, just as they are right now when they won't vote for you. What's changed is they can't afford to rent a house, their salaries are shit, and social security no longer fills gaps; not Job Seeker, not Austudy, not Disability Pensions, not even Family Tax Benefits.

Everything has been tied to headline inflation, which means for poor people, finances have gone back by as much as 10% per year. That compounds, and compounds, and when a review said things were dire, Labor said "We can't do all the nice things".

"Maybe One Nation can" is the first thing Labor voters think, even if it's not promised. Because they've been told by Labor for 20 years now that "The Greens are evil"

They can afford an undisclosed amount on defence, but find it very hard to #RaiseTheRate of JobSeeker and all social security payments so people can live. Apparently it’s okay to count every cent with a scowl for citizens and not to count it at all for defence. Defending what? #auspol #economy
