Original Note:
Indexation arrangements for social security payments have nothing to do with the Albanese Government. The current arrangements for indexation of unemployment benefits first appeared in the Social Security Act 1991. Indexation of pensions was last altered in 2009. https://www.pbo.gov.au/about-budgets/budget-insights/budget-explainers/jobseeker-payment https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_departments/Parliamentary_Library/Research/FlagPost/2022/September/High_inflation_and_pension_indexation https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdb/au/legis/cth/num_act/ssa1991186/
