| SB-2026-0100 | 05/09/2026 | Regional Welfare Alliance | new | yes | We support raising the free area to $1,050 and indexing it each July. The taper should also be reviewed so that part-time work is not discouraged. Our members report that hardship requests rise every time the free area falls behind rents. | |||||

| SB-2026-0104 | 10/09/2026 | D. Whitfield | new | yes | I oppose this. The cost will come out of other programs and the concession already goes to people who do not need it. Ring me on 0412 555 018 or write to 40 Ridge Rd, Kaituna if you want the numbers. | |||||
| SB-2026-0105 | 12/09/2026 | Small Business Chamber | new | yes | The chamber supports indexation but the taper rate should change at the same time, or the increase discourages part-time work. Contact office@sbchamber.example for our modelling. |
