‘Unfair to give JobSeeker recipients a similar sum to lowest wage workers': Former MP
Former immigration minister Amanda Vanstone says while “five dollars wouldn’t buy you a hamburger and a milkshake”, the increase to JobSeeker adds up to a significant sum of money. “Over the year it amounts to quite a bit of money and over Australia it amounts to a hell of a lot of money,” she told Sky News. A decision by the Morrison government on Tuesday will result in a permanent increase to the JobSeeker payment by about $3.50 per day from April. Ms Vanston said, “This is about $7 billion. It’s a pretty big sum of money” “It’s just unfair to the person who’s got a full-time job on the lowest possible wage to give those who haven’t got a job almost the lowest possible wage” “You don’t compare the unemployment benefit to the person who is doing reasonably well. You compare it to someone who’s struggling.”
