The Partner Income Test is eugenics. People on income support are forced into poverty + dependence, afraid to date, trapped in unsafe relationships, pushed past capacity, and punished for love. Survival shouldn’t depend on your partner’s pay. Abolish it. au.finance.yahoo.com/news/calls-f...

Aussies like Laura are being forced to choose between finding love and having any money to survive.

#Budget2026 recognised that government systems can be weaponised - but left the Partner Income Test (PIT) unchanged. Centrelink reduces payments based on partner's income; this affects safety, deepens poverty, and limits independence. Read the report: linktr.ee/sophiaredjeb #AusPol #Centrelink

Graphic with black and red text on a light grey background. Large black title reads: "The Budget Knew Better". It states that the 2026-27 Federal Budget talked about safety, cost of living and financial abuse, but left the partner income test untouched. The Budget recognised that government systems can be weaponised and are funding reforms to make the Child Support Scheme safe. But it left a Centrelink rule that forces financial dependency. Large red text reads "Abolish the Partner Income Test." and small footer text below states "Read The Human Cost of the Partner Income Test - link below."

Ahead of tomorrow's Federal Budget, the government should address the Partner Income Test. 'The Human Cost of the Partner Income Test' documents financial dependency, hardship, delayed healthcare, fear of disclosure and safety risks. Read it here: linktr.ee/sophiaredjeb #AusPol #Centrelink

For Brothers, who lives with ME, POTS, and endometriosis, moving into a shared home would mean the immediate loss of her DSP. "We've been together 15 years and we can't progress anything - live together, get married - without me losing my financial independence," www.9news.com.au/national/the...

Adelaide woman Abby Brothers has been with her partner for 15 years, since they were both teenagers.
The pair have grown up together, navigated the highs and lows of young adulthood, and survived the grueling schedule of his fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) work in the mines.
But, at 30 years old, Brothers says they are stuck in a state of forced limbo, unable to take the next step of a long-term relationship: moving in together.

Abby Brothers says the partner income test for welfare payments like the DSP is 'outdated' and needs to change.
