Description:

A panel of experts established by the Government has found that the current rate of the JobSeeker payment and related payments are “seriously inadequate”.

Their report has recommended a “substantial increase” to JobSeeker, taking it from just over $690 to about $870 for a single person per fortnight.

The Government is set to reject this recommendation, saying they “can’t fund every good idea”.

TDA journalist Tom Crowley will explain what you need to know in the deep dive.
