We recently made an important advocacy trip to Canberra with WACOSS, to ensure that the needs of the WA community are on the minds of Federal Parliament.

Here is what Mark had to say about the few days that were spent there!

You all looked absolutely SPECTACULAR at the MEH Gala 2026, and it's now time to start diving into the hours, days, weeks, and even months of handywork, op shopping, and relentless curation that went into your stellar efforts 💫

How are young people meant to feel hopeful about their future when they can't afford life's basic essentials? 🫤 💸

That's the question raised by two important reports released this week, highlighting the growing impact of poverty and the inadequacy of Youth Allowance payments.

We're calling on the Federal Government to:
✅ Raise all working-age income support payments above the poverty line
✅ Abolish Youth Allowance as a separate, lower-rate payment

Get the full picture by reading the reports:

Close to half a million Western Australians are living in poverty right now.

That's 456,123 people. 15.1% of our population.

Poverty isn't always visible. It could be your neighbour, your colleague, your friend, a family member, or even you. It's having to stretch every dollar, skip essentials, and make impossible choices just to get by.

At its most severe, it means not knowing where you'll sleep tonight, where your next meal will come from, or how things will get better.

The latest Poverty Snapshot from the Bankwest Curtin University Economics Centre paints a confronting picture of life in Western Australia, but it doesn't have to be this way. Everyone deserves a safe place to call home and the opportunity to thrive.
