A plan to hike power prices by 30% this winter is dangerous and unjustified. The proposal from Victoria's independent Essential Services Commission is also wrong on technical grounds. We stand with other groups in opposing this price hike. 🔗 vcoss.org.au/essential-servi…

Raising the rate of social security payments to above the poverty line, abolishing punitive mutual obligations & compulsory income management, would transform the lives of First Nations people struggling to house & feed their families on Centrelink payments. #RaiseTheRate

Too many people are depriving themselves of energy - cooking less, not heating or cooling their homes - and going without food, medicine and other essentials to pay energy bills. Yet they are still finding themselves in energy debt, with no way to pay that debt down.
