It would be more cost effective @better for kids if governments paid decent levels of maternity leave for 1st year. Infants don’t benefit from FT centre daycare: a government LSAC study showed babies had much higher rates of infectious illness #auspol @LisaJBryant @danielleiwood

Happy New Year 👋 🙏 ⁦@abcnews⁩ this am covering the urgent need to fix the adequacy of income support payments in this #costofliving crisis. ⁦@AlboMP⁩ May 2024 be the year we finally lift people out of poverty. $54 pd (jobseeker) & $46 (youthallowance) is not enough
