Senate Matters of Urgency - Pensions and Benefits
Channel: Australian Parliament Fan
Date: 03/04/2023

The matter for urgency in this video, as proposed by Senator Nick McKim and moved by Senator Larissa Waters, was:
"Poverty and homelessness disproportionately affect women and are compounded by gendered violence, with single mothers and their children particularly vulnerable.
The upcoming Budget must scrap Stage 3 tax cuts and instead fund measures to support those most at risk, including by raising the rate of income support, investing in social housing, and extending Parenting Payment Single."

The transcript of this proceeding can be found:
