Today is not a day to celebrate. It is a day to stand in solidarity with First Nations peoples and calls for Voice, Treaty and Truth. We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.

Great insights on what the changes to the Stage 3 tax cuts mean for women from @eraaustralia
We've been calling for changes to the Stage 3 Tax Cuts for years. They unfairly benefited older men & undermined revenue for services needed by women. The Albanese Government's amendments are good for women. Media release here: https://t.co/XXybV1asHC

FDV is a major cause of homelessness for women. There is a massive undersupply of housing for women & gender diverse people escaping violence. Sign our petition demanding more dedicated affordable housing for people at risk of or experiencing violence. https://t.co/nFodcwjrmo

Women are more likely than men to seek support from Specialist Homelessness Services, and women also make up 2/3 of unmet requests for support. To learn more about the changes we need to see to fix this, download our Policy Platform 2023-24. https://t.co/axTLYdShWQ

We are disappointed to hear that voting on the #HAFF has been held up until October. Australia is experiencing its worst housing affordability crisis in decades, and this delay means thousands of women and their families will continue to struggle.
