Ms Carly Bailey:

It has brought in the work activation part of that. We all agree that there was an issue regarding the low employment rates among people who were parenting alone, but it was brought in during the austerity era in 2013. We were told at the time that childcare would form a massive part of that. It did not and it still has not. There is no individualised subsidy for people who are parenting alone. With one income coming in, however, that is brought in by the social welfare work or a combination of the both. Let people work their way out of this. Allow us to work with people and provide pathways out of that poverty. That would be really important.
