Because I know Anthony Albanese reads my toots:
If you increase centrelink payments, like jobseeker, you'll inject all that extra money straight into the economy.. because no unemployed person is saving—we spend everything we get to try and stay alive.
Increasing jobseeker businesses, my guy. All the cool kids say so.

A loaf of bread in Aurukun can be as much as $7-8; a 1.8kg frozen beef roast around $80 and a bag of frozen vegetables $8.
Some fresh produce is double or even triple the price advertised online by major supermarkets; a bunch of broccolini is $6.19 compared to $2 at Woolies; oranges are $7.15 per kg compared to $6.90 for a 3kg bag at Coles.
Aussie staples like Vegemite, Weet-Bix and Bushells Tea bags are approximately 50 per cent more expensive.
High sugar items like soft drink are priced as part of a 'nutrition strategy’; a four pack of premium lemonade is around $25 in Aurukun compared to $7.50 listed online by the major supermarkets.
A 10 x 375ml pack of Coke is around $40, compared to $12-20 online.

~~continued~~OCTEC refuse to transfer me, saying that they can't do it. I explain that they can, and they insist that only DEWR can. I explain that centrelink told me that they can transfer me and that calling DEWR will mean hours on hold. The OCTEC guy explains that then transferring me means them filling out a form, giving it to me for Verto to also sign, then bringing it back for them, and then his manager signing it as well, and then the transfer will take place, and "I don't have time to do all that" ('all that' is literally his job).
I told him that centrelink said they wouldn't want to transfer me because it's losing money, and I just needed to demand it happens. I explain again that I was listed with them without discussion and that contravenes my rights. He says he doesn't have time for RIGHTS. I tell him I want the forms done, and he does them. It takes him less time to do that than he took explaining that he couldn't do them. I have no intention of getting them signed by Verto, I just wanted to make him do something.
So I go to Verto. They can't do anything, but suggest I call DEWR. It's 11.14am and I'm still on hold with DEWR at this point. They also explain that recently OCTEC lost their government contract for doing disability support services so I wouldn't be able to stay with them anyway, they'd just have to transfer me to Verto.
I get home. It's 12.07pm. I'm still on the phone with DEWR. The voice over tells me "Did you know, if you want to change your employment provider you can do so online through Workforce Australia". So I get online and change my employment provider. It's at a "pending" status, so I don't know if it actually worked.
I don't trust it, so I'm still going to talk to DEWR.
It's 13.12pm.
I'm still on hold.

Last night at 6.43pm I got a phone call from someone saying they were from centrelink. They asked me to verify my details by giving them my full name, date of birth, and address... which I refused to do.
I asked why they hadn't sent a letter to my my.gov email, and they said that it was a matter that's best dealt with via a phone call and that they couldn't go into it further unless I verified my details. I told them I'd go into centrelink today and talk to them.
So, today I go to centrelink. The issue is that I was exited from my disability support provider (who does nothing, btw) for having been with them for 12 months. So I had to be recommenced with a disability support provider.. fine, I was expecting this for a couple of months now, and I'd like to be put back with Verto.
Oh, the person who called me already put me on with OCTEC, without discussing it with me, and centrelink can't change it.
So, I get sent down to OCTEC to ask them to transfer me to Verto.. and while I'm waiting to see someone I phone the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) because I know that OCTEC is going to refuse to transfer me because every person they have on their books is money they get. It's 10.52am when the call connects.

Even with indexing, Jobseeker is 60% below the Henderson Poverty Line.
The Henderson Poverty Line is the minimum disposable income required for a household to maintain an "austere" standard of living.
If a household's income falls below the Henderson Poverty Line, they are considered to be in poverty.
Poverty is created by governments.
The Australian government continues to deliberately push unemployed people into severe poverty.
_____
"For singles over 22, jobseeker payments will increase by [$6.25 a week] , to a total of [$396.80 a week]."" But anti-poverty advocates argue the small rise in benefits will do little to help elevate the financial struggle millions of Australians are facing, calling for payments to be lifted in line with the Henderson poverty line of $660.72 a week for a single person."

I don't understand petrol prices.
The prices in Bathurst are lower than the Mountains, and lower than Sydney.. but I would have thought that the petrol would be transported from Sydney through the Mountains (and therefore be more expensive?)..
We often have prices that are either equivalent to or sometimes cheaper than the Costco price..
Like, at the moment the average price for e10 in:
- Casula is 181.3c/L..
- Katoomba 192. 9c/L..
- Bathurst 160.7c/L..I don't understand how this works.

I don't understand petrol prices.
The prices in Bathurst are lower than the Mountains, and lower than Sydney.. but I would have thought that the petrol would be transported from Sydney through the Mountains (and therefore be more expensive?)..
We often have prices that are either equivalent to or sometimes cheaper than the Costco price..
Like, at the moment the average price for e10 in:
- Casula is 181.3c/L..
- Katoomba 192. 9c/L..
- Bathurst 160.7c/L..I don't understand how this works.

We had our rental inspection this morning, I think it was fine but I won't know for certain until they get back to us and we resign the lease.
Did you know that renters in other countries don't have to jump through these hoops? That long term renting is normalised in other countries because renting isn't just seen as a step in the ladder to house ownership?
Australia has to do something, because fewer people are able to buy houses so will be renting their entire lives. Having a 6-monthly reminder (and often more frequently!) that you can be homeless at almost no notice because someone just feels like it is a leading cause of stress and has poor effects on both mental and physical health.
This is becoming worse now that home ownership is also seen as just a step in the property investment ladder, and that the goal is shifting from owning your own home to owning investment properties.
