People on JobSeeker and the community sector are calling on Parliament to stop cuts to JobSeeker and Parenting Payment in Parliament House today.
Australian Council of Social Service are calling for the base rate in the JobSeeker bill to increase by at least $65 a day which they claim will keep it above the poverty line and ensure it delivers on gender equality and justice for First Nations peoples.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison previously announced a 43 dollar a fortnight increase. The legislation will be voted on this week.
