Lobby Maribyrnong Council to Advocate Raise to Newstart

Should anyone be expected to live on two thirds of the poverty level? Have you fallen into the gap?

The AUWU will be lobbying the Maribrynong City Council to publicly advocate the Newstart rate be increased to the Henderson Poverty Line.

The motion will be discussed at an open session at the Maribyrnong Council.

Please come down to help us get this motion passed. We need to make it clear that there is overwhelming public support for this issue.
