As the Antipoverty Centre said, this “is a slap in the face”.
Flicking less than an extra $1.77 to people living on Jobseeker in response to a devastating cost of living crisis is a cruel joke.
An extra couple of bucks isn’t going to help get food on the table, get essential medication or healthcare, and it keeps the most vulnerable people locked in poverty.
Labor are spending $254 billion on tax cuts for the rich, billionaires and politicians.
What a horrible set of priorities for a Government that so many people placed hope in. Shame.
