I'd like to thank the member for Macnamara for his question. Our strengthening the safety net package includes a range of important measures designed to support and target those who are most vulnerable. If the bill passes the parliament, on 20 September it will deliver a responsible increase to JobSeeker and an increase to Commonwealth rent assistance. It will of course expand parenting payment single and the eligibility for the higher rate of JobSeeker for those over 55.
