Good to hear @SupriyaMelbourn discuss her new book "Domestic Economic Abuse - The Violence of Money" today. Supriya worked on these issues for decades (often in collaboration with community/consumer orgs), before #economicabuse was openly talked about. supriyasingh.org

Victorian energy and water regulator @EssentialVic reviews effectiveness of #familyviolence standards for water companies. Great example of a regulator's ongoing work to set standards, support & monitor compliance, and (as seen last month) enforce. esc.vic.gov.au/water/inquirie…

Changes starting today should make it less likely that someone experiencing #familyviolence #domesticviolence will have a payment claim refused, or payment cut off because they’ve been inappropriately assessed as being a member of a couple.
Economic Justice Australia@ej_australia

CEO Leanne Ho on ⁦@BreakfastNews⁩: The job isn’t done until the member of a couple changes are cemented in the law, including the ability to waive #Centrelink debts caused by abusers. It’s against community expectations that DV victims/survivors are held responsible

“policy makers and legislators need to consider the mental health impacts of coercive control when implementing policies and legislations surrounding the criminalization of coercive control, and to provide funding for trauma-informed mental health services”

Thanks @ej_australia for providing evidence to Senate Committee re extent/nature of poverty, & need to improve Govt benefits regime incl. need to have better access to social workers at Services Australia.
Economic Justice Australia@ej_australia

'What needs to happen for Services Aus to do their job well?' Ms Sacher: it's about prioritising resourcing, not necessarily needing more resourcing. Good example is having social workers - this would save the system money by giving people access to social workers earlier.
