22.01.2022 A dark day, as the coronaviurs supplment reduces to $300. We often got asked as to why we don`t lobby for the retention of the PPS. We always had, and always will. This is a flash back to 2014.

19.01.2022 "National Council of Single Mothers and their Children's Terese Edwards urged the government to return to the initial $550 increase to the dole. Ms Edwards said cuts to that rate meant homelessness, skipping meals and no cooling in summer for single mums. "I'm deeply concerned about the increase of suicide, homelessness and domestic violence," she said. "Christmas is already a frightening time for too many. Add a pandemic, throw in the cuts to income and we have a tsunami of ...horror ahead of us." We would like to thank Angela who spoke to the lived hardship and is providing a statement to the Committee We are trying hard. https://www.canberratimes.com.au//experts-cast-doubt-on-/

17.01.2022 Thank you Pauline Hutton for speaking out. Love and care to you and your family. Sadly, your voice echos the circumstances for tens of thousands of single mothers.

16.01.2022 If you're facing financial hardship due to COVID-19, your energy and water providers have certain obligations to make sure you are safe. If you can't afford you...r bills, you have a right to ask your provider for a payment plan. Your energy and water providers can't cut you off without your approval. If you think your providers have treated you unfairly, our resource explains how to challenge their decision: https://justiceconnect.org.au//responding-to-debt-collect/

08.01.2022 This is NOT OKAY! NCSMC is steaming over this headline! We feel incredibly sorry for the mother who was asked to be interviewed along with a picture. NCSMC is contacting the Journalist and asking for a change of headline (online - but the damage has been done) and will be contacting the BSL (why would they even put that quote in the report - it would always get the headline). We will include your statement in our response to the BSL. https://www.smh.com.au//fewer-single-mums-are-skipping-mea
