I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that the Government is making a deliberate choice to keep people on the JobSeeker Payment living in poverty by keeping the payment below the poverty line; and

(b) calls on the Government to immediately revise its announcement and urgently increase Jobseeker Payment to be above the poverty line.
