Welfare groups reacted angrily to the planned increase, after it was revealed by Guardian Australia on Tuesday. The Australian Council of Social Service said any reduction in payments after March would lack “human decency”, while the Australian Unemployed Workers Union described the $50-a-fortnight increase as a “cruel joke”. The permanent $50 increase will begin on 1 April and will be applied to jobseeker, youth allowance, Austudy, Abstudy and parenting payments. It is expected to cost about $9bn over four years. Before the pandemic, the base rate of jobseeker for a single person was $565 a fortnight, or about $40 a day. It’s understood other possible changes – including potentially winding back more generous pandemic-era means testing and income thresholds – that could accompany the increase to benefits have not yet been finalised. Such changes could ultimately alter the net dollar benefit to recipients.
