Caspian and Jayden know what it's like to live in poverty. On International Day For the Eradication of Poverty they remind us that one in seven people and one in six children live in poverty in Australia.
They were at Queensland Parliament House this week.

Australia is an international embarrassment for our ‘flagrant disregard’ of the human rights of children. Whatever the election slogans, governments in power have a responsibility to implement policy based on evidence & human rights.

The Chair of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, @askelton_CCL, expresses the dismay of the #UNCRC at the proposed changes to the law for child offenders "Making Queensland Safer Bill". A flagrant disregard for #childrensrights and violations of the Convention on the Rights of the Child @lexpsy

The housing system is in ruins and needs rebuilding now! Too many people, including full-time workers, are experiencing housing stress and homelessness. #BuildSocialHousing, end investor tax breaks, #RaiseTheRate, protect renters from unfair rent hikes

There are 400,000 women >45 at risk of homelessness. Miriam Wallace is 1 of them, despite working full time in a professional capacity. How many more stories of misery do we need to change the story?

This #antipovertyweek, we highlight how a low income makes saving money difficult – and we’d love to hear your experience of what are called ‘poverty premiums’. E.g. if you get fined, you have to sacrifice proportionately more of your income. sacoss.org.au/poverty-premiu…
