Adam asks the PM about cuts to single parents payments
Prime Minister, as the rest of us look forward to a break over Xmas, on January 1 up to 150,000 single parents are due to be pushed onto the dole, the majority of whom are women.
Given the findings of the Senate report tabled today that Newstart is inadequate, will the Government now reconsider dumping single parents and their families onto Newstart, which is more than $130 below the poverty line, or will Labor allow inequality continue to grow?
