I, and also on behalf of Senator Marielle Smith, move:
That the Senate—
(a) acknowledges that this is Anti-Poverty Week 2019;
(b) recognises that many single parent families are living in poverty;
(c) notes that:
(i) according to the Foodbank Hunger Report 2019, single parent households are most likely to experience food insecurity at a rate of 47%,
(ii) since 2013, the rate of poverty among unemployed single parents has risen from 35% to 59%, and
(iii) single parent families have a poverty rate of 32% which is a major source of child poverty;
(d) acknowledges that one of the keys to ending child poverty and helping single parents out of poverty is by raising the rate of Newstart; and
(e) calls on the Federal Government to help reduce the poverty rate of single parent families by immediately increasing Newstart and related payments.
