Extract from The Guardian
A choir of more than 60 Newstart and other welfare recipients has
launched the ‘It’s Time’ campaign, calling for the Labor party to
publicly commit to increasing Newstart. At $278 per week, Newstart is
$160 per week below the poverty line, and $178 per week below the
pension. The Newstart Choir has altered the lyrics of the iconic It’s
Time jingle, originally performed during former Labor PM Gough Whitlam’s
1972 election campaign
