Where is everyone? It's so quiet here.

Why ending poverty is cheaper than living with it

"That's choices I've had to make. I know the outcome of not buying the things I need for my health, but I also know that sometimes I don't have a choice," @artistaffame.bsky.social

Excellent report.
Now we need the Albanese govt to start making evidence-based policy choices that get people out of #poverty, reduce #inequality, and in doing so - benefit the whole nation.

What was that about "no-one left behind", @albomp.bsky.social ?

There's more generosity, compassion and community in #RaiseTheRate than there is spruiking some private company's charity.

You have the power to give more government money to the poor and the homeless; why won't you use it?

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.

When a government starves people to prove they’re “earning” help, that’s not policy, it’s economic violence. Labor’s Centrelink regime is indistinguishable from Morrison’s.

Hello voidness my old friend
I've come to scream to you again

I'm back and bitter than ever

*Taps the "Better Things Are Not Possible" sign*

Has Labor had the enough time to #RaiseTheRate for everyone yet or do we still need to keep waiting?

Imagine a world, one in which the worth of a person is determined not by the value they create for capital interests, but by the simple fact they are human. One in which being alive is enough reason for help to stay alive and thrive.

Why should politicians be allowed to sleep comfortably and peacefully when they don't afford their citizens enough to do the same?

Sorry I haven't been round and posting, decided now was a good time to get the house cleaned and reorganised so just been preoccupied and not on my phone much, but how we all doin'? Thanks for all the new follows here, I'll get to following everyone back eventually.
Wish me luck for the house-works!
