On this day in 2012, Gillard made sure that single mothers with kids over 8 were forced onto Newstart rather than the single parent payment, setting the living standards on those kids and the safety of their mother back.

Charity is a failure of government
Access to charities such as Foodbank requires a Health Care Card, so many people seeking asylum or on temporary or bridging visas – some of whom have been in limbo for more than a decade – are ineligible for mainstream food relief. trib.al/TXGi3T2
The growth of food insecurity
With 3.5 million households experiencing food insecurity last year, food banks are struggling to meet demand, while some communities can’t even access them.
