This is how much they were spending on Newstart/JobSeeker before the crisis. One of the lowest proportions in the OECD. It needs to be doubled, permanently, at least. #Budget2020
6% unemployment is a goal that would leave far too many of us in poverty. There's nothing in #Budget2020 that leads us to believe this will be achieved any time soon as claimed.
The Government's previous seasonal worker incentive trial saw barely any take-up, there's no reason to believe a new scheme would be any different. #Budget2020
93% of women surveyed in agriculture, in the first study of its kind, said they had been sexually harassed. This is what is on our minds right now, and #Budget2020 did nothing to address our concerns. You can't recover without us, start acting like it.
