Yes, 20% of suicide deaths are people on JobSeeker. Yes, 60% of working age adults who die are on a Centrelink payment. So what did Tanya Plibersek do in Anti-Poverty Week? Give $5 million to charities. FULL STATEMENT:
apcentre.substack.com
Plibersek’s charity funding in Anti-Poverty Week is an insult to poor people
The government has announced $5 million in charity funding while welfare recipients make up more than a third of suicide deaths, and are up to 10x more likely to die than people not on income support.
