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.

The ACT government has passed legislation enshrining housing as a human right. What does that mean, and should other states follow?

The Govt must respond to the Murphy Inquiry and ban gambling ads.
