Rent doesn’t pay itself!
Had some serious had chats today about democracy and the importance of informed participation. Voting for me, for you, for our country.

A 🧵 on a piece of @MonashUni research that ought to make us all weep, retch, explode with white rage & demand better.
'Between 2001-2018 middle-aged women have gone from a place of relative mental calm, to reporting the highest level of serious mental distress.'
I wholeheartedly believe the work that I and my husband do is valuable to the community (like just about everyone else). To do that, childcare is essential. This sector needs reform.

Today we delivered on our promise to remove a discriminatory, inequitable relic - the $450 threshold to receive super. From July, some 300,000 Australians will receive superannuation for the first time- around 200,000 of whom are women. It will make a real difference. #auspol

AIST welcomes the removal of the $450 monthly salary threshold for super contributions. 300,000 lower-paid Australians, mostly women, will now get super payments from 1 Jul. A positive step toward achieving better retirement savings for low paid workers

The Australian Government claims to be committed to helping women. But a law that would boost the super balances of 200,000 women was buried in the parliamentary program today. @aistbuzz is calling for it to be passed immediately.

As the Federal Government consults on its ten-year plan to reduce violence against women, AIST says systemic financial barriers are among the things that need to change.

A new year and new opportunity for the Government to prioritise their promise ensure those earning less than $450 a month get paid super on their wages. This change will make a real difference in retirement to over 300,000 low-income earners, of which 2 out of 3 are women.
I do not appreciate being told by my kids toys that they are loveable. That is for us to decide, not some pink singing dog.

The stark reality and financial cost to women of our structures and systems that short change so many.

I understand the battle was all about Mercedes vs. Red Bull but listening to my 2 yo “where’s the orange car” for nearly 58 laps was hard work :/

Australia’s chief statistician David Gruen questioned whether the number of new children was influenced by prohibitive childcare costs, as the fertility rate dropped to record lows. bit.ly/33f7UA5
A beautiful articulation of the persistent “what the fuck” feeling that so many of us are walking around with these days.

“It is disappointing that a measure that has a negligible cost to the government, a potentially big
impact on women and was announced over three years ago has been dropped from a very light
legislative program.” - @JoshFrydenberg @ScottMorrisonMP
We are dismayed that legislation to remove the income threshold of $450 per month has been abandoned by the #MorrisonGovernment. 2/3 of the 300,000 workers effected by this ARE WOMEN. #auspol

Paying super on #PaidParentalLeave would mean more money in retirement for everyone – in particular, women. Small amounts make a real difference over a lifetime. It’s time for super on #PPL.

We want the gender super gap to close not just narrow. That's why we will continue to advocate for reforms that will improve the superannuation system for women, like the removal of the $450 threshold and paying super on paid parental leave. ow.ly/DCbr50GrOnG
