Does the govt have a huge #penalty ready to roll? Any way to force #accountability? Or are they just selling out the Victorians who believed their #spin? Where is the #dutyofcare in making developer concessions & bypassing #localgovernment? theage.com.au/politics/victo…

Wherever a #woman is in Australia, she shd be able to leave an abusive partner *with* her #children, & receive all essential services so she does not have to return. #ViolenceAgainstWomenAndChildren smh.com.au/national/nsw/s…

Stunning pick-up from @DavidPocock. All the blame being slighted to @JEChalmers et al, not so accurate. #SlowInterestRises

#nopay for #nannies? Just a voucher and no superannuation? this is not a clear policy but is maybe a dismissive swipe at women and the nature & importance of #Childcare work @the_parenthood theguardian.com/australia-news…

#BailSavesLives Too many #FirstNations women and children held in bail on charges that will eventually be dismissed. Punished for nothing! And exposed to conditions that may harm them for life. tinyurl.com/v9tbad66

On top of research showing government is highly unproductive in its attention to #policy there is research such as this showing how #inequitable existing policy is in relation to #housing. tinyurl.com/28vx4zp8

Younger women are paying for the #costofliving crisis with their #health: New research shows the impact. Policies need to change @ACOSS womensagenda.com.au/latest/younger…

Labor has announced the next 7 public housing towers they're going to destroy. Apart from the obvious, here's what's wrong with that.

@ACOSS new report shows concessions from property investors cost the budget more than the government spends on social housing, homelessness and rent assistance combined 🤯 Sensible changes like capping the number of investment properties that can be negatively geared, limiting capital gains tax to new builds to incentivise supply & having a national plan for housing that's tied to population, immigration and workforce. Politicians need to find the courage to pursue structural reform & to start treating housing as a human right.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

Katherine Berney & @WomensAgenda are on point. We add that anyone charged with #stalking needs to be refused #bail or have incredibly tight conditions. We don’t need another Royal Commission. We need political courage to act @SenKatyG @AlboMP womensagenda.com.au/latest/we-dont…

There are extreme heat days in SA, VIC and NSW this week. Protect yourself and request meetings over the phone and prepare yourself, stay cool and hydrated. @SwelteringCity and Antipoverty Centre want to hear how your job agencies are treating you on hot days.

"Mutual obligations" pause ends today for everyone. For people in the new disability employment program, called "Inclusive Employment Australia" you will face penalties for not completing your MO's from tomorrow as well. If you need help contact us: help@welfarecopwatch.org

5 reasons Why do we need a home 1. Home is basic. 2. Home Provide Peace. 3. Home Protect us. 4. Home Provides stability. 5. Home gives Comfort. #whyhome #weneedhome #homeadvantages

Mission Australia is a proud supporter of the Home Time campaign, advocating for dedicated tenancies for young people. As part of the #WhyHome day of action, our staff asked the kids in their lives, “Why do kids need a home?” Their answers cut straight to the heart of it.

All young people deserve a safe a place to call home. Today, is a National Day of Action, encouraging us to ask the young people in our lives: “Why do kids need a home?” To reduce the number of homeless young people our approach needs to improve. #WhyHome #HomeTime

We lost vote to have #Schedule5 moved to committee, but Senators Allman-Payne, Thorpe & Pocock asking all the questions that govt assumes we should not ask. E.g. Has the govt sought advice on whether this is #constitutional? @ACOSS @antipovertycent @AusHumanRights @AusLawReform
