Porast nezaposlenosti u Australiji - "Kako ljudi uopšte preživljavaju?"

Australsko vijeće socijalnih službi (ACOSS) objavilo je izvještaj "Faces of Unemployment" za 2024. godinu, koji je otkrio da čak 557.000 ljudi trenutno prima naknadu za nezaposlene više od godinu dana. Između ostalih zahtjeva, Vijeće je pozvalo saveznu vladu da poveća isplate naknada za nezaposlene, sa sadašnjih 56 dolara na najmanje 82 dolara dnevno, kao i da okonča automatske obustave plaćanja.
