There are no coalition tensions over varying the rate of increases for jobseekers and pensioners. Jobseekers allowance should not increase at the same rate as other social welfare payments. No tension exists within Government on social welfare increases. Senior Government figures have signalled the end of one-off cost-of-living reliefs in next month's Budget on October 7. The Budget will prioritise infrastructure investment and measures to address child poverty. One-off payments will be replaced by longer-term spending priorities aimed at structural supports and targeted anti-poverty interventions, shifting from temporary reliefs to sustained policy measures.
