Make submission

The Senate has demanded that the Government's heartless new proposed Jobseeker legislation be referred to an inquiry for review. This is an opportunity for people struggling to get by on Jobseeker and other income support payments to share just how inadequate the Government's paltry excuse for an increase is.

Can you share your story to help build pressure on members of Parliament to legislate an increase that is more than a measly $3.57 a day?
