Housing is the foundation of a happy and healthy life. This is Rhonda’s story — a renter with @WPIorg, whose home has given her the stability, confidence and independence to live a life she values 🏡 #HomelessnessWeek21 #EverybodyNeedsAHome

I wonder how many MPs actually do the shopping.
Here are 3 staples I bought this week that each cost more than $3.57 - the pitiful daily extra for #JobSeeker
$50 a fortnight when people can’t make rent and can hardly buy food is miserable and mean. #RaiseTheRate – at Melbourne, Victoria

Our 'Generation Expendable?' data suggests over 50% of older women workers experienced unfair, even bullying behaviours during #pandemic2020. Have you? #gender #genderequity #workplace RTs appreciated @JaneCaro @WPIorg @Gender_COVID19 @TanjaKovac form.typeform.com/to/JAyMcQC…

House prices are already climbing and set to go higher, pushing #homeownership further out of reach for many.
Investing to #BuildSocialHousing will create housing options for people on low incomes in hot markets. #EverybodysHome theguardian.com/business/gro…

A surge in #homelessness is expected In March when the Federal Government ends #JobKeeper, cuts #JobSeeker back to $40 a day and banks end mortgage holidays. Federal investment to #BuildSocialHousing would provide urgently needed homes #EverybodysHome skynews.com.au/details/_6224…

The Federal Government could have delivered urgently needed homes and created jobs in #Budget2020 for one fifth of the cost of tax cuts, by investing to #BuildSocialHousing.
Still can do in #MYEFO !! #EverybodysHome @_EverybodysHome

Imagine being a 36 year old mother or two, who has taken time out to raise her kids & is desperate to get back into workforce today. Will she even get a look in? By the time economy recovers, she’ll be told, sorry u’ve been out of workforce too long #crediblewoman

In tonight’s budget, will there be anything to help curb homelessness, especially among older women whose descent into poverty in their 50s is a direct result of having put other’s needs ahead of their own ability to earn an income? I doubt it #Budget2020

@jeanettelarge spoke to @GuardianAus about why the JobSeeker Coronavirus supplement must stay. A game changer for tenants with job losses & higher expenses. They're depending on it. 2.3M people facing this $300/fn income cut. @ACOSS #RaisetheRateforGood theguardian.com/australia-ne…

This is Michael. He's 46. Lives in Berwick.
And he spent 72 days in hospital with coronavirus.
Michael's sharing his story in the hope that this is the closest you come to his experience.

When we thank our frontline and essential workers, we need to remember that many of these workers are women. Many of these workers have children, that they are not paid to care for and educate at home. We need a commitment to #GenderEqualRecovery buff.ly/3ecsv8s

If you're experiencing elder abuse, SBS also has information on supports in multiple community languages and you can find them here sbs.com.au/radio/

Let's be blunt.
The old rate of Newstart was so low it trapped people in poverty.
Returning to this low rate after COVID-19 is the same as RETURNING PEOPLE TO POVERTY.
Stripped of all the spin and niceties, that's what we're talking about. #RaiseTheRate
