Fair deal for Timber Workers On Father's Day this year, the NSW Government announced the creation of the Great Koala National Park by locking up 176000ha of working forest. The next day, me and my workmates (and people at 5 othe...

Have you been underpaid too? TAFE members have won more than $300k of backpay in the past four months thanks to the NSWTF’s work to resolve issues concerning significant underpayments.

Join your union.

A good news story for NSW TAFE teachers.

These wage theft cases for Union members take months to resolve, but help to ensure other teachers don’t suffer the same loss of income.

Changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing are not the only things needed to solve Australia’s housing crisis, but they’re the cornerstones of any approach capable of arresting the raging home price growth that is making a bad problem rapidly worse.

The Australian concept of a ‘fair go’ is a furphy – especially when it comes to tax, education and care For years, policymakers and politicians thought they could square the circle: a market-driven economy with a robust social safety net. But that has become harder

The first intergenerational report prepared by Treasury was published in 2002 – all the problems that are now WERE PREDICTED “intergenerational bastardry”.

This Wed 3rd Sept 2025 is our opportunity to recognise and celebrate the efforts of TAFE students, teachers, and support staff for their contributions to our local communities, workforce and economy

I’m confused: did a memo go out this week saying it’s finally okay for politicians and the press to be outraged that Israel is starving Palestinians?

If so, I didn’t see the memo. But I did see the evidence of this war crime back in late 2023.

Where are we at? Starving is bad, bombing is ok?

The Israeli Ambassador to Australia should not still be here.

Exclusive: Smoking data taken down after link to vape ban A report showing increased smoking and vaping among young Australians was pulled after it embarrassed the government and led to complaints from other researchers.

The curious case of the disappearing smoking data. The Roy Morgan release was unequivocal: smoking rates among young adults are up after vaping ban which had "demonstrably failed". And then it disappeared and was replaced with something more amenable. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/health/...

'Awful': Amelia's in an ANU redundancy pool with two close colleagues The Australian National University announces more staff cuts across academic and professional roles, as part of its broader goal to save $250 million by the end of the year.

"I'm furious on behalf of my colleagues. I'm furious about the way they've been treated and how it suggests we have to compete with each other.

"But, we're sticking together."

@nteunion.bsky.social members stand together against #ANU cuts.

Authoritarians depend on fear. Democracy depends on each other.

Very clever political cartoon about the top 1% loud scare campaign about paying little extra tax. @GoldingCartoons

This graph is remarkably straightforward.

Super stoush reveals teals’ leanings The attacks on Labor’s proposed superannuation tax reform have exposed inconsistencies in the progressive agendas of the independents.

Superannuation stoush “If we can’t even roll back tax concessions for which, everyone agrees, there’s no policy intent or purpose, that is only going to affect 0.5 per cent of Australians, then what hope have we got of getting more serious tax reform up?” www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

Better tell Albo.

Andrew Leigh says Australia one generation from ‘US-style inequality’ as Productivity Commission targets corporate tax Of all Andrew Leigh’s many portfolios, he considers productivity the most important. But can the government’s reforms bear fruit by the next election?

Leigh continues: “We’re certainly more unequal than we were.

“I’d be concerned about consumption inequality, wealth inequality and income inequality. All of those measures have risen over the last generation.

After a landslide election win, a newly re-elected Labor Govt ministry has been sworn in. So the first topic of discussion for the panel on last Sunday's #Insiders? The Coalition! *sigh* 8min in and I may have to stop watching. It's insultingly irrelevant. 🙄 #auspol #AusVotes25

SkyAfterDark RWNJ Peta Credlin has called on Labor to stop their Tax on people with $3million+ in Super saying multibillionaire corporate magnate Gerry Harvey has labelled it “stupidity of the highest order” 🤣
I’m liking this tax even more now.

This is quite an extraordinary table from Streem showing how many seats each party would have won if their share of seats matched their share of media coverage during the campaign.

You're not imagining it. The Murdoch press et al didn't shut up about Dutton. Lucky no-one was listening. #auspol
