Coalition spent 30 times more on tax cuts than women’s economic security in 2021 budget

The budget does nothing to specifically support single mothers on low incomes or older women facing homelessness, report finds

It was billed as the women's budget" before its delivery earlier this month but new analysis of the Coalition's eighth budget has found it spent 30 times more on tax cuts than it did on women's economic security.

The Australian Council of Social Service analysis found the 2021-22 budget provided a boost to services for women's safety, but fell short in the necessary investment for women to achieve economic security, particularly those on low incomes, while doing nothing to enact structural change.
