On the unemployment: Antipoverty Centre spokesperson and Disability Support Pension recipient Kristin O’Connell said:

This is an irresponsible budget that once again has betrayed millions of welfare recipients and left us in deep poverty.

This budget puts the nail in the coffin of Anthony Albanese’s cruel, false promise to leave no one behind.

The government needs to stop pretending to help poor people with more handouts for big business, landlords and corporate charities

For people on Centrelink payments life is harder now than it was three years ago, and this budget does nothing to change that.
