employment services should be a public service not a for-profit system. Time to reverse John Howard’s failed #privatisation, and #BringBackTheCES ! #auspol

Good decision by Labor to axe this disastrous ICT project. The Coalition - who love outsourcing, did not conduct a proper open tender process & then gave a sweet deal to their preferred multinational provider - owe us the $344m wasted on this dud. #auspol innovationaus.com/gallagher-pull…

The CPSU campaign to end the #privatisation of employment services, rebuild a public sector jobs agency, & reform the mutual obligations system just got a massive boost… theguardian.com/australia-news… #auspol #BringBackTheCES

Excellent news….Parliamentary Inquiry recommends rebuilding a public sector employment service… #auspol #BringBackTheCES

CPSU Jessica Munday It’s 25 years since John Howard axed the commonwealth employment service. A disastrous #Privatisation - and now a parliamentary Inquiry says it’s time to bring back a public sector service. This is good news for people looking for work and for employers. #auspol #BringBackTheCES

Well done CPSU and allies who have been working so long to expose the rorts and self-dealing of privatised employment services. 🙏🏼 This is a huge step to repairing the damage.

Oh dear, Peter Dutton's Spotify playlist has been leaked. Make sure the Senate don't vote for big business and the mining companies: australianunions.org.au/campaigns/send…

What we've been listening to on repeat this year 💫💗🎶

...and a handful of US corps, including Microsoft, are a key driver of this... Ireland's gains are losses worldwide!

Didn’t get much media attention (there’s no clicks in good news) but this is important…an effective tribunal, independent of govt influence, is an essential part of our democracy. The coalition corrupted it. Labor is fixing it. We all benefit from this. #auspol

Huge improvement due to Labor govt rebuilding public service that was smashed by the Coalition who cut DVA permanent staff numbers and handed contracts to labour hire businesses - result was huge claims backlog & stress for Vets. #auspol

The employment services system is corrupted by the profit motives of providers. Should be a public service and not a profit centre for corporations. This is why CPSU is campaigning for a new modern public sector service. #BringBackTheCES theguardian.com/australia-news…

“a serious brake on what was a race to the bottom” CICTAR's Jason Ward comments on the new Global Minimum Tax regime in the FT cictar.org/news/ft/global…

There’s no real price competition among consultants, & Senate Inquiries & RobodebtRC showed that when they do make a low bid it’s for the purposes of securing more profitable future contracts. Govt should publish the rates & profit margins. #auspol afr.com/companies/prof…

Good to see discussion about how corporations operate, but social licence is a pretty limited tool ( hint - CEO’s like talking about it) What we need to talk about is the basic rules…ie should the power to incorporate be tied to demonstrated social good?

Here’s a good outline on some of the limitations of the “social licence” as it currently operates… smh.com.au/business/workp…

Australian Parliament Tightens Thin Capitalization Rules & requires "public companies to disclose... [all] subsidiaries, including their countries of tax domicile,... [from] July 1, 2023." Progress! CICTAR taxnotes.com/tax-notes-inte…

Australian govts are utterly dependent on Big Tech firms…an outcome of years of outsourcing and destruction of in-house capability. It’s a dependency that costs a fortune & limits what govts can do for the people. Rebuilding public sector IT must be a priority. #auspol

Everyone knows that the Commonwealth Employment Service Service worked. Tailored to you needs with a Professional Employment Service. Now it's 'one size fits all'.

elle la bombe It can be done…not overnight but a series of steps too rebuild a modern public sector service. Ending mutual obligations it currently exists is a crucial step. theguardian.com/australia-news… #auspol #BringBackTheCES
