JobSeeker is confirmed as a causative factor in approximately 3,000 deaths/yr. People cannot survive abject poverty. There is no reason to kill people who we know due to inflation the RBA need unemployed. #auspol #RaiseTheRate @jimchalmers.bsky.social #PovertyKills

Renters rights and the money behind them must be shown respect. This is nothing more than a controlled and abusive system. The rule of law has been abrogated for the rule of he who owns more. Not good.

Horrified to learn of 3k homeless deaths per year in this intergenerational report. The increase in homelessness and the increasing trend of many Councils across the country to “move them away on” trashing their things and sending them to anywhere but here. 3k dying. #PovertyKills #RaiseTheRate ✊

Exactly. And people looking for work - before retirement age currently being made homeless and living then with services refusal to provide housing unless they’re mentally or physically needing services to go with their housing. #RaiseTheRate #PovertyKills #auspol Australians need good government.

Being expected to live nomadically in temporary housing or rentals with short term leases. Having to pick up and put down at other people’s whims. This is exhausting. This ruins social and community connections. This destroys lifestyle for everyone. #PovertyKills Homelessness kills faster. #auspol

Campaigning to live above the poverty line IS CAMPAIGNING FOR HUMAN RIGHTS! Money doesn’t discriminate. People do. Allow everyone a baseline economic equality. First: #RaiseTheRate because #PovertyKills - poverty takes decades off lives: that’s a fact. #auspol

Well #RaiseTheRate of JobSeeker then?! Right now, you know it is causing homelessness and hunger. Propping up charities really isn’t helping people affected by this. It’s turning them into surfs chasing down food and a safe place to sleep on the streets. 😠 #auspol #PovertyKills

These figures are shocking, after working most of their lives, too many poor pensioners are living in horrible situations
We are supposedly the 6th richest country in the World but cannot afford to give everyone a decent life?
We should be ashamed!
Shame on ALL Govt's for this.

1.9m pensioners in England live in poverty.
Low wages, high living costs, low state pension take toll.
Winter fuel payment cut deepens the crisis.
Full UK post-2016 state pension, received by 26%of retirees, is less than 50% of the minimum wage.
Poverty kills.

It is tragic and shameful that 584 Victorians died from overdose last year — including 102 in Melbourne’s west. This is the highest level in ten years and illustrates the urgent need to move from a punitive to a health-based approach to drug taking.

Seems if you’re not working you’re powerless to change that. Slaves to any and everybody as survival demands more than the y rate of JobSeeker - that is gone before needs are met. Needs, not wants. #RaiseTheRate #PovertyKills #HopeDies #auspol

Why are the disabled always ignored and forgotten. We get it. We don’t matter and that hurts just as much as deep poverty does.
