Senate Matters of Public Importance - Budget
Channel: Australian Parliament Fan
Date: 02/11/2022

This segment of the sitting had two matters of public importance submitted for the Senate to debate, both followed the topic of budget.

The first matter of public importance in this video, as proposed by Senator David Pocock was:
"The rate of JobSeeker needs to be raised in order to lift more than 3 million Australians out of poverty and stop 1 in 6 Australian children growing up in poverty, given the current cost of living crisis that last night's budget forecast will worsen with huge increases to energy costs, food and rent among other essentials."

The second matter of public importance in this video, as proposed by Senator Dean Smith was:
"The Albanese Labor Government has delivered a high taxing, high spending Budget that has no plan to address the cost of living crisis; predicts 140,000 Australians losing their jobs; slashes funding to regional and rural Australia; breaks Labor's promise to the Australian people to reduce power prices by $275 annually, instead hiking power prices by 50 per cent; and that has left Australians poorer, with the average family being at least $2000 worse off by Christmas."
