Anglicare Australia reports Australians on welfare struggle with rising costs due to inadequate Centrelink payments not keeping up with inflation.
Anglicare Australia reports that Australians on welfare are struggling to cope with rising costs of living due to inadequate Centrelink payments not keeping up with inflation. Households with the lowest incomes have been most affected, with essentials like food and housing becoming increasingly expensive. The charity is urging the federal government to raise the rate of all social security payments above the poverty line and establish an Independent Social Security Commission with the power to adjust income support payments based on the cost of living.
