Alan Johnson: Child poverty advocate says the Govt should be more adept to inflation than it has been

Wage growth has meant some families are being pushed past the level they can receive Working For Families tax credits. The Government lifted the abatement threshold in 2017, from a little more than $36,000 to $42,700. Adjusted for wage inflation, the threshold would be just shy of $52,000. Child Poverty Action Group convenor Alan Johnson told Mike Hosking inflation has eroded settings around various policy - and the Government should be more adept at responding, than it has been.
