Poverty is a choice made by government, not by people.

Australia now has 150 billionaires. And 3.3 million people (13.4%) living in poverty. This gross inequality didn’t happen by accident - it’s the product of decades of unfair policies by governments pandering to big corporates and the super wealthy. #TaxTheRich ffs

They would literally do anything, no matter the significant short and long term costs, to avoid doing the one thing that will actually help fix the problem - paying workers a fair wage. There is nothing labour about this Minns Labor government.

RT @SenatorJordon: One day Australia will have a Minister for Disability who has lived experience as a disabled person 🙄.

Labor may not have created this mess, but they’re sure as hell responsible for cleaning it up. Every day NSW Labor continues to chronically under resource the public health system, the crisis in our public hospitals will only deepen, putting public health at risk. 3/3

The NSW health system is at breaking point. That’s why medical professionals have been sounding the alarm for years and why hundreds of psychiatrists are saying they have no choice but to resign this month unless things improve. 1/3

This is an important step towards recognising, providing for and celebrating autistic people. I’m biting my tongue and not adding what a shame it is Federal Labor is simultaneously ripping away millions of dollars of support for autistic children through cruel cuts to the NDIS.
The federal government will today outline Australia’s first ever National Autism Strategy, with $42m in funding to implement the first stage of commitments aimed at improving the lives of Australians with autism.

The lengths NSW Labor will go to to avoid paying workers properly. Why should these professionals put up with pay 30% lower than their colleagues in other states?

All major investment decisions should have their assumptions tested in a rigorous way and this policy denies the public the opportunity of checking the government’s working.
