My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Social Services. The robodebt tragedy was only possible because income support recipients were, and still are, trapped on poverty payments. This made them acutely vulnerable to the actions of the government and its departments. Will Labor take seriously your duty as a government and raise the rate of income support above the poverty line, or will you condemn income support recipients to the whims of a future government?
