Yep, it’s that time of year: when every politician’s donating blankets, food, and other supplies to charities, their little contribution to alleviating hardship, during this cold winter.
Well, you know what’s something else politicians – especially from the government – could do to reduce poverty?
Lift people’s incomes!!
Raise JobSeeker, Youth Allowance, and other payments to above the poverty-line, to at least $88-a-day!!
Thanks for the blankets, mates, but use your real power to lift people out of poverty, once and for all, instead of giving us your insincere tokenistic stunts.
