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
