#KeepTheRate. Don't let people on JobSeeker fall back below the poverty line.

I’m a Tassie grandmother who has seen first hand the devastating impact the low rate of JobSeeker (formerly Newstart) has on young families. Due to the impact of coronavirus, the JobSeeker rate has doubled - but it is set to go back below the poverty line when the pandemic is over. 

That’s why I am calling on the government to leave JobSeeker where it is and #KeepTheRate.

Email your Senators

The JobSeeker cut is happening NOW. Your Australian Senators need to hear just how devasting this cruel cut will be. 

Can you write a quick email to Senators in your state?

  • Introduce yourself  
  • Briefly explain how the JobSeeker cuts will affect you, or the people you love. 
  • Politely request that your elected representatives do more to prevent 740,000 Australians being plunged into poverty. 

Remember, the Government DOUBLED JobSeeker in the blink of eye. They can do it again, but they need to be politely reminded just how much this affects everyday Australians. 

Please, be respectful at all times.
