Been talking about this crisis for years. It gets rediscovered every now and again but things only seem to get worse. If Dutton gets in many of these women may also face the indignity of compulsory income management.

Older women are the fastest growing group to experience homelessness in Australia.
Choosing to keep people in poverty is a political choice, that is being made by the duopoly.

I'm not sure how they can justify managing my 1100/fn, $600 for housing(luckily we still have it atm) and everything else on $250/W for two.
Not sure what they think I'm spending it on. Definitely not food, or medical care
The stress already...
Already being administered in the top end but it’s voluntary -
LNP want to make it mandatory for all welfare, including employed & age pensioners-
If you get a cent from the government you will be put on the card.
We need to keep putting this out there bc many haven’t a clue it’s even a thing and what it will mean for them
Nope. I’ll keep saying it till idiots listen! Dutton will implement it if he’s elected for all on payments!!
It’s on the agenda again under Dutton. Mandatory income management for all on any Income support.

Even more amazing they think pensioners will be exempt.
They were counting on winning the election then pensioners would have been pushed into it.
#LNPNeverAgain
And the friend of the LNP Harvey Norman!!
Certain stores would sign up and that was were you were syphoned off too
Would be same under Dutton
We need a woman’s lead revolution.
92% of those on income management = compulsory. 82 % of those are indigenous. Who supports this policy?
90 MPs last voted on this policy.
95% OF MPS VOTED FOR COMPULSORY INCOME MANAGEMENT. IT'S A DONE DEAL.

Alternatives exist (Danish co-housing, Vauban, Freiburg Germany).
It would need a fed govt with courage, that's what we don't have.
#auspol
Massive capital gains tax for multiple dwelling owners. Target - more than 2.
Purchase price over a CAGArd valuation should also be highly taxed.
Enough. The alternative is a genuine revolution. And I can really see Australians backing it.
#auspol
The result is #Auspol renters impoverished, the vulnerable made homeless
The solution is here for Senate

I am blaming government immigration policy
More demand DOES NOT mean more supply. It means increased prices when supply cannot keep up
If it did, rents would not have been going up at 10-20% pa
Nor do I blame investors. I blame government policy
Disability and poverty are not moral failures.
Let’s really scare the gov and ask for universal basic income.
Best wishes Fiona.
I’ll end up in a dodgy camper-van somewhere begging the police to be allowed to park in a scary out of the way back block. They’ll be saying, move along! You can’t stay here! Go pay for a caravan park. I’ll be in tears with no money and no where to go.
😰
Great
Let’s make a lot of noise.
They provided most of the care free or through low paid jobs.The libs & Mr Howard saw them as the welfare & aged care system.
Go around the camping sites &see the frail women not valued or looked after!
no need for it.
Corrupt graft that many politicians have shares in.
And financially as I buy food at the markets, clothes at op shops and furniture on Marketplace.
Who would use a bank card that charges $10k+ in fees a year. It's such a rort.
But.
There are over 105,000 Australian women aged 55-64 on Jobseeker in poverty today.
Albo was asked to raise Jobseeker simply up to the poverty line.
To protect the health, safety and dignity of these women.
He refused.
And then lied about it being "Inflationary".
#auspol
He didn't increase the dole. That was a mandated increase that would have happened under anyone.
And my husband's on the pension. He hasn't noticed any increase other than the mandated one.
It was a significant increase and it was given before indexation to make the increase more valuable. The LNP will not look after you unless you are rich. Please put Labor above the LNP in your vote
Our Economy mandates a level of unemployment at all times - to buffer against Inflation.
Do you support forcing these 105,000 Australian women aged 55-64, into poverty, on Jobseeker?
And do you support exposing these women to the barbaric Mutual Obligation Policy?
Yes or No?
#auspol
Unemployment etc. benefits must be above the poverty line - universal basic income.
Including Mutual Obligation.
A policy that denies women access to food, medicine and shelter as a punishment.
At the next election will you be voting for this brutal and barbaric abuse of women continuing?

There is zero vacancy rate here as the real estate agent can attract people on the national subsidy scheme
