So why tax cuts for the wealthy?
And excessive defence spending?
Fossil fuel subsidies?
We voted to fix this. Not waste more on the rich.

We voted for you because we thought you had the decency to ⬆️ JobSEEKER and to #StopStage3TaxCuts.
Instead we get AUKUS and inhumanity.

#StopStage3TaxCuts

Well, stop subsidising fossil fuels.
#StopStage3TaxCuts and reform the tax system.
We privatise our toll roads, electricity, public transport.
Defund private schools.
Stop offshore detention.
Corporations are robbing us, and their CEOs are getting multi million $ bonuses for it.

From ACOSS.
As we see in the New Year, there are still millions facing poverty and financial distress, about one million on the woefully low Youth Allowance and JobSeeker. From 1 January 2023, Youth Allowance was indexed by 6%. Be clear, that’s an increase of about $2 per day, bringing YA to a paltry $40 per day.
At the same time, rents are up by about 18%, energy bills by 20% and food 9%. Indexation is welcome but it won’t deal with our greatest fairness failure, income supports forcing people into deep poverty.
In 2023, let’s choose to be kinder and fairer. #RaisetheRate #JobSeeker #YouthAllowance and #StopStage3TaxCuts. For those who are directly affected right now, rest assured, we will not give up until this is done.
