QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator ALLMAN-PAYNE (Queensland) (14:34): The robodebt tragedy was only possible because income support recipients were and still are trapped on poverty payments. This made them acutely vulnerable to the actions of the government. I've personally been contacted by constituents on JobSeeker who cannot afford to eat, pay for essential medications or medical treatment, or keep a roof over their heads.

Minister, will Labor finally act to raise the rate of all income support payments above the poverty line?
