23.01.2022 Great news for jobs. Great news for kids - now & into the future. Modelling by PwC Australia (https://bit.ly/3lMSFSS ) shows kids do better & the economy is $3b a year stronger when kids spend their first 3 years in stable housing. Scott Morrison (ScoMo) Anthony Albanese #Auspol https://ab.co/35wvNBx

22.01.2022 Equipping #families, #children & #youngpeople to make better decisions is the key to helping young Australians escape the pull COVID-19s gravity. Find out how we plan to do it. Watch our free webinar recording > https://bit.ly/326HCf4

21.01.2022 there are 19 people unemployed or underemployed for every vacancy and only 3% of employers report that they are recruiting but cant find enough applicants. Every family is at risk of joblessness. To date Scott Morrison & his government have done pretty well helping families keep their kids fed & housed in tough times. Removing the #COVID support keeping families afloat wont create jobs but will put kids into poverty & damage the economy. #RaiseTheRateForGood

21.01.2022 The evidence keeps piling up. If we want to create jobs now & if we want our kids & country to have a brighter future, the best investment we can make is in education, & the earlier the better. Scott Morrison Anthony Albanese #ThriveByFive #BuildBackBetter

18.01.2022 Every family is at risk of unemployment due to #COVID. If Josh Frydenberg wants people to feel encouraged about the future & have more kids, families need to know they will be helped feed those kids in hard times. So far Scott Morrison has helped families feed their kids during this crisis but the crisis continues. Now is not the time to remove the support keeping families afloat. #Auspol #RaiseTheRate #RaiseTheRateForGood

18.01.2022 The Smith Family defines the poverty line in Australia as a single person living on less than $426.30 a week. When the Jobseeker payment is removed, Newstart recipients will be forced to live on just $282.50 a week" "Before the coronavirus the only way I could survive was I would get up at 4am and go to the trash and treasure markets I’d sell my clothes and my possessions to get a little bit of money to pay my bills.. #auspol #RaiseTheRateForGood #buildbackbetter https://bit.ly/2IKpphD

16.01.2022 Removing/reducing COVID supports for families will remove food from tables kids sit at. With the economic crisis continuing it could be the family next door, it could be yours. Kids shouldn't suffer because their family cant find work - especially in an economic crisis. #RaiseTheRate Social Ventures Australia The Benevolent Society UnitingCare Australia Early Childhood Australia Save the Children Australia

16.01.2022 Every family is at risk of relying on government payments as the economic crisis continues. Removing/reducing COVID supports for families will remove food from tables kids sit at. And the uncertainty families face about the level of support they receive will only further weaken the economy. #RaiseTheRateForGood Social Ventures Australia

13.01.2022 Great to see moves to bring justice to young kids. In Oct 2019 paediatrician & ARACY Board Member, Professor Gervase Chaney laid out the case to #RaiseTheAge. (Read his piece here > https://bit.ly/3gpaXpU )

12.01.2022 We are calling for national, universal, quality Early Education & Care based on evidence of short & long-term benefits to the economy, job creation for women & life-long benefits for kids. #auspol #pinkrecession #EarlyYears #BuildBackBetter Read the sub > https://bit.ly/3aSfWP6

11.01.2022 Australia cannot afford to have children falling through the cracks in the crucial years before school,says Sam Page of Early Childhood Australia. #thrivebyfive #earlychildhood #BuildBackBetter

11.01.2022 A new report by Deloitte for the Australian Council of Social Service finds cutting JobSeeker will destroy the jobs of 145,000 Australians while the ANU finds it will throw 740,000 back into poverty. Families doing it tough as a result of this pandemic deserve support, especially as ARACY (https://bit.ly/2QrhINI ) finds kids in jobless families do it toughest.

10.01.2022 The ACTU says free, universal, accessible childcare would support women being able to work, grow the economy and give children at the very best start in life. #EarlyYears #BuildBackBetter

10.01.2022 The Youth Taskforce seeks input from young Australians on the National Youth Policy Framework which will guide how federal policy/programs affect young people. It is important young people have a say about policies that affect them. Survey closes 12 Oct >https://bit.ly/35T1i9v

10.01.2022 I’m not interested in just more reviews and more 500-page reports that point out the same things. I am looking for what can be done in terms of actual action now. Well said Commissioner. We have the reports that tell us income support policy impacts kids (https://bit.ly/2UyHscY). We have the reports that tell us housing policy impacts kids (https://pwc.to/2K5Ylto). We know early education is good for kids (https://bit.ly/3f3oUuK). We really just need to be able to get on with it. Let’s hope Scott Morrison takes the advice of his Commissioner.

08.01.2022 We know that supporting our children from an early age will improve their future outcomes. Achieving this target will require a greater investment in early childhood development and learning supports for children aged 0-5. SNAICC-National Voice for our Children Chair Muriel Bamblett #ClosingTheGap #EarlyLearningMatters Read the full statement below.

08.01.2022 Treasury found that when youth unemployment goes up by 5 percentage points, the wage that new graduates can expect to receive goes down by 8 percentage points, and theyre less likely to get jobs at all. The effect on graduates wages lasts for years. Over a decade they lose the equivalent of half a years salary compared to otherwise similar young people who graduated in more benign conditions.

05.01.2022 Leading economist Chris Richardson has warned that while Australia has dealt with the coronavirus at a sprint, the battle for jobs will be a marathon. He is urging the federal government to go "hard and smart" in providing further support and stimulus in next month's delayed budget. At top of the list, Mr Richardson, a partner at consultants Deloitte Access Economics, wants a permanent increase in the JobSeeker dole payment. #RaisetheRateforGood #BuildBackBetter Check out Fast Facts resources here (https://bit.ly/32g9crr) for use in the lead-up to Budget (6 Oct) and #AntiPovertyWeek (11-17 Oct).

03.01.2022 "Changing from demand to supply funding means not just would our early education and care services survive but also that the government, by virtue of the funding contract, would be able to absolutely demand that services are located where they are needed, that fees are kept at set levels and that quality levels are kept." #earlylearningmatters

01.01.2022 Mr Morrison refused to say whether the base rate of JobSeeker would be raised after the supplement wound up in March. We urge Scott Morrison to consider analysis (https://bit.ly/3jWktU4 ) showing kids in homes reliant on low payments much more likely to be bullied, homeless & missing out on learning #RaisetheRateforGood
