enator FARUQI () (): Students are rushing from job to job but still barely making ends meet. Nearly a third of students work more than 20 hours a week. They are telling us that it is impossible to just be a student and enjoy uni life, because they can barely afford to live. Too many students are living in poverty. Will the Labor government assure people there has actually been a change of government and raise the rate of income support payments to at least $88 a day?
