Supporting Those Doing It Tough

Food, Shelter, Dignity: No One Should Be Left Behind

No one in Australia should go hungry or sleep in a car. Yet more and more people are being pushed to the edge by housing stress, poverty, and a broken support system.

Why Reform is Urgent

·       Income support payments are far too low

·       Homelessness services are overwhelmed

·       Regional communities are hardest hit

·       Social housing supply is dismal

My Commitment

✅ Raise income support to $82/day

✅ Increase Remote Area Allowance

✅ Fund $5M / year for social security legal services

✅ Expand homelessness service capacity

✅ Work toward 10% of all housing as social housing

Why This Matters in Paterson

We see it every day in our region: rising rents, empty fridges, long waitlists. Let’s fight poverty with dignity, not delay.
