Electorate profile. There is the moral and the reality of people who are incredibly poor and for the first time in their lives, where they have been on JobSeeker, being able to put food on the table. And we also note, Fran, and these are the Government's figures, not Labor's figures, that at the moment, there's about 1.6 million people on JobSeeker. Can I ask you about last night's Four Corners report? Leader of the Opposition from 5.1.2015 to 8.4.2015. Shadow Minister for Sport and Recreation from 11.3.2011 to 11.12.2013.

Linda Burney is the Shadow Minister for Human Services and the Federal Member of Barton. Our office is located at 203/13A Montgomery Street, Kogarah.

That was the major concern, as I understand it.BURNEY: Well, Tony Burke and Brendan O'Connor have been working on this. Minister for Youth from 2.4.2007 to 5.9.2008. Due to COVID-19 Parliament House has limited public access.
Minister for Community Services from 8.9.2008 to 4.12.2009. The real issue is that the JobMaker program, promising thousands and thousands and thousands of people being assisted by this, there is going to be much less people assisted than the projections bought by the Government. Kogarah, NSW, 2217, Suite 203/13A, Montgomery Street
They were modest, sensible requests and amendments.
Shadow Minister for Planning, Infrastructure and Heritage from 11.4.2011 to 17.10.2012. That's a cut of $100 from the current rate. Labor has been calling for the Government to extend it. It's before the Senate this week.

I'm sure there's bad personal behaviour on Labor benches as well. I'm a lot older and in a much more powerful position than young women who are going in as staffers.KELLY: This has zeroed in on two senior ministers and their positions in the ministry that were sort of brought into question here. Linda Burney is the Shadow Minister for Families and Social Services. Linda’s commitment to Indigenous issues spans more than 30 years.
I just basically say, Fran, that people should be able to be confident and safe in the workplace.KELLY: Do you believe that the women in Parliament House feel confident and safe? Or is it a matter for the Prime Minister given that he is the Attorney General? What amendments is Labor putting in place, putting forward, to ensure older people don't fall through the cracks? Not all of it, but part of it.
Deputy Leader of the Opposition from 8.4.2011 to 7.3.2016. Linda Burney addresses the House of Representatives on the paid parental leave bill - Thursday, 13 February 2020 Australia's national Paid Parental Leave scheme is a proud Labor legacy. Shadow Minister for the Hunter from 11.3.2011 to 11.12.2013. And that's the paramount thing.
And that's an awful lot of people that are currently on JobKeeper or JobSeeker, and who will be increasingly on JobSeeker. The Labor Party will be arguing in the Senate today that the supplement should be kept at the current rate of $250 until the end of March in line with JobKeeper. And that's the most important thing, that they should feel confident that they can come to work without being pressured and without being harassed.
As the Member for Barton, Linda and her staff are able to assist with any Federal matter.

Linda Burney on ABC RN Breakfast - Tuesday, 10 November 2020 FRAN KELLY, HOST: The Federal Government will reportedly extend the JobSeeker COVID supplement for a further three months, to the end of March. And I am not going to advance what Labor's position is because we are still working through that, on what a permanent increase is. But the second is an economic argument. And, of course, Christian Porter is disputing Malcolm Turnbull's record of events. Shadow Minister for Familes & Social Services and Indigenous Affairs | Member for Barton. Minister for the State Plan from 8.12.2009 to 28.3.2011. Re-elected 2019. And it actually stopped people from getting employment, which is why we've been arguing so vigorously that there needs to be a permanent increase. I think that you will see Labor continue with that pragmatic approach, and also a constructive approach to getting help out the door for people who find themselves in difficult circumstances.KELLY: Linda Burney is our guest.
Is that what Labor would set the rate at?BURNEY: No, and I'll be looking to talk to people like ACOSS and other stakeholders today to see what they're saying. Linda Burney is the Shadow Minister for Human Services and the Federal Member of Barton.
Electors enrolled: 108,992 (at 20.6.2019). Shadow Minister for Family and Community Services from 17.10.2012 to 8.4.2015.
And that's a lot of Australian.KELLY: Does that explain, do you think in any way, the Government's reticence to make this a permanent increase? Linda Burney MP. But at the end of the day, women in Parliament House and working in politics should be safe. I understand Labor will be pushing for amendments.
Authorised by Linda Burney, Australian Labor Party Suite 203/13A Montgomery Street, Kogarah NSW 2217. But no party is chaste and pure. And today's announcement, by way of The Australian, does not give a permanent increase.KELLY: Well, this increase at $550 a fortnight for the supplement plus $150 brings it to just over, I think, it's going to be $357 a week. If you have sent through an invitation, please be assured that a response will be forwarded to you as soon as possible. Shadow Minister for Ageing and Disability Services from 6.1.2015 to 8.4.2015. $150.

Shadow Minister for Familes & Social Services and Indigenous Affairs | Member for Barton, Linda Burney on ABC RN Breakfast - Tuesday, 10 November 2020, FRAN KELLY, HOST: The Federal Government will reportedly extend the JobSeeker COVID supplement for a further three months, to the end of March. And that is that people who are on small amounts of money, like JobSeeker, use that money in the economy, which is good for jobs and good for business.KELLY: Okay, so you are happy, presumably, the JobSeeker supplement has been extended to March, but you want a permanent increase there. Minister for Women from 14.9.2009 to 4.12.2009. “People who had been betrayed by an institution have been let down by the very Scheme designed to acknowledge and address that betrayal,” said Linda Burney.

Because it's an expensive program, $4 billion to create what we now know is likely more like 45,000 new jobs. Shadow Minister for Indigenous Australians from 2.6.2019. That it is a safe environment?BURNEY: When you looked at that show last night, you would have to say, ‘Well, that's questionable’. Joint Standing: National Disability Insurance Scheme from 10.9.2018 to 1.7.2019. But it will be likely paid at a reduced rate again, possibly at a level of $150 a fortnight.

And as I said, Fran, there needs to be a decision by this Government. I think there's two points to this, Fran. He says they're not true. Linda was elected federal member for Barton in 2016, following a 14 year career in the NSW Parliament as Member for Canterbury. I note that Alan Tudge, who was also mentioned last night in the show, issued a statement last night of regret. House of Representatives
The New Daily political reporter Josh Butler also added that the government claimed that the only “appropriate” flag for the Senate was the Australian flag. And Christian Porter, this morning, has come out swinging, saying that he's looking at his legal options. Christian Porter is not only the first law officer in Australia but is also the Leader of the Government in the House of Representatives, a job that I think is questionable in terms of his skills.
