My question is to the Minister for Families and Social Services, Senator Ruston. Minister, through you Mr President, on 1 January 2021, the new rate of the coronavirus supplement will result in an extra 1.16 million people living below the poverty line. Is it government policy for people on the JobSeeker payment to live in poverty?
