One in eight households can’t afford enough food. That’s not poor budgeting, that’s systemic failure. Food is a human right, not a privilege. Inequality and political neglect are leaving families hungry.

The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich.

It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense — yet that's what this GOP budget is all about.

#Superannuation was meant to help people save for retirement, but 40 years on it's become a tax dodge for the wealthy. It's now set to cost taxpayers more than the Age Pension.

Lots of fuss over the new super tax on balances over $3M - but it affects less than 0.5% of Aussies. Most won’t ever reach that. Super is for all Aussies’ retirement, not a tax haven for the ultra-rich. Maybe the outrage should match who’s actually impacted? #Superannuation #TaxFairness #Auspol
