RAISE THE RATE FOR ALL This Budget
Start: Monday, May 15, 2023•10:00 AM
Albanese is releasing his first budget as Prime Minister, after a federal election filling us with hope, he is set to leave millions of people needlessly in poverty.
This budget is set to raise the rate of Jobseeker but only for over 55s, leaving everyone else, people on youth allowance, disability support payments and rent assistance struggling. The ALP have no real agenda to make the lives of everyday people better. Pushing through the stage 3 tax cuts, which will cost hundreds of billions and doing nothing to help everyday Australians, is a disgrace.
This event will be held on unceded Wadawurrung land. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and acknowledge that this is, was and always will be Aboriginal land. First Nations justice is essential in the fight for climate and economic justice.
