The 722,000 Australians on Newstart understand that government is a matter of priorities, and these ponies aren’t going to ride themselves.
Many of the 90% of young people who can’t afford to buy food on welfare have taken to Twitter to defend the Government’s compelling arguments that a $75 Newstart increase is unaffordable but a $500,000 bonus for Mosman Rowing Club is fair enough.
Grateful for the 24 cent increase per day granted to them in September 2019, welfare recipients pointed out that just because a rugby union club in Adelaide’s eastern suburbs doesn’t have a women’s team, doesn’t mean they don’t need $500,000 for new female change rooms.
The 3.05 million Australians living below the poverty line were relieved to hear that an Adelaide Hills golf club received 190,000 for that new foyer and lift, because how else are they going to attract those extra wedding bookings?
They wish the Government all the best for their re-election.
