Treasurer Jim Chalmers says the federal budget will help those “doing it tough” with $14.6 billion of cost-of-living relief to include a lift in single parent support.
“I know first-hand what it’s like to grow up with a single mum doing it tough and we want to make sure that the children of single-parent families have the best opportunities in life,” he told reporters. Opposition finance spokeswoman Jane Hume said the only way to provide genuine relief for struggling families was for the government to rein in its spending and tackle inflation, which was sitting at seven per cent.
Greens leader Adam Bandt said the changes to the petroleum resource rent tax had been designed by the “gas cabal” and did not go far enough in taxing producers more to pay for social services. Greens social services spokeswoman Janet Rice said a possible $40-a-fortnight JobSeeker increase was a “kick in the guts” for people struggling to survive.
