#federalbudget2024 must include a raise to social security payments, providing immediate cost-of-living relief for people who need it most and targeted investment to grow jobs and incomes during a period of rising unemployment. #RaiseTheRateForGood #Auspol acoss.org.au/media_release/s…

Your final weekend to get in an application! We'll start reviewing applications from Monday morning. Don't miss out!

Imagine after the next federal election knowing you helped build the power of renters, made a difference in key seats, influenced who formed government and won policies to make renting better. That's the new job in our team! Applications due by 26 Feb: buff.ly/3SQSTeO

Today marks 5 years since the recommendations of the Royal Commission into the Detention and Protection of Children in the NT, which recommended closing Don Dale. We now have record numbers of Aboriginal children incarcerated due to punitive bail laws introduced last year.

ICYMI: This is an important oped, on an important subject - the NT Government's announcement to #raisetheage of criminal responsibility. As @NTCOSS CEO Deborah Di Natale says, let’s stop with myths and follow the evidence. #ntpol @TheNTNews

This is a budget that delivers on some of the government’s important election commitments, and we welcome them. We’re very pleased to see the $560m investment in community services, as well as investment in aged care, paid parental leave and child care. #budget @auspol

We’re also very troubled to see that budget spending is forecast to increase by only 0.3% per annum when we know we must deliver critical essential services to meet community need.

It’s obvious the government will need more revenue to meet the community’s urgent needs, and for this reason, we cannot afford the $19b a year tax cuts starting in 2024. #auspol #budget

@NTCOSS ceo Deborah Di Natale said @AMSANTaus and social services had been working in good faith @TerritoryLabor to fix the system and implement the Royal Commission recommendations but instead there has been a 4000% increase in self-harm incidents. #closedondale @ZiziAverill
