My question is to the Minister for Families and Social Services, Senator Ruston. An Anglicare survey found that, under the old rate of JobSeeker in March, 72 per cent of respondents skipped meals every week, with most skipping an average of three or four meals a week. How many JobSeeker recipients will be forced to skip meals because the Morrison government is refusing to grant a permanent increase?
