More than 55,000 Australians will receive much needed relief in Tuesday’s budget targeting the country’s most vulnerable households.
The Albanese government on Monday revealed it would increase the cut off age of children for the payment to 14.
The budget will include $14.6 billion in cost of living measures. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Martin Ollman Payments will also be extended to include carers and will cover 52,000 women and 5,700 First Nations people. “I know firsthand what it's like to grow up with a single mum doing it tough and we want to make sure that the children of single-parent families have the best opportunities in life, to go on and to fulfil, to aspire to a good life with good jobs, with security.”
