Information coming out of #Rafah about further attacks on families seeking shelter is horrifying.

There are reports of mass causalities including children and women among those killed.

Gaza is hell on earth. Images from last night are yet another testament to that.

My latest in the The Guardian is on Cate Blanchett, Karl Marx… and class.

Forced to work in the rain unnecessarily?

Join a union.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled that Israel must immediately halt its attack on Rafah and allow unimpeded access to investigate allegations of genocide.

Today is Public Education Day & we want to know why you are #ProudToBePublic

I’m in there somewhere and very #proudtobepublic Thankyou to all my ⁦AEU⁩ ⁦Teachers Federation⁩ teachers. Our schools need #fullfunding

What an irony Dutton Opposition demanding detail of CSIRO calculations of cost and timing disadvantages of Nuclear power having failed to provide any detail of their nuclear power strategy . What a joke . Their position is fanciful nonsense

Australian unions continue to push for Assange's freedom. This needs to end, bring him home.

Australia finally has an optimistic, visionary, positive and concrete economic plan for the future - Made in Australia. The LNP always says “innovation” & “competitiveness” but it means nothing other than acquiescing to big business & keeping wage growth low

I think Future Made In Australia is one the best political ideas for years. I don’t care how many problems they might have to get it up - it shows vision and optimism for all of us. #Insiders

Peter Dutton's super for housing scheme is on life support just days after it was announced following figures costing the proposal at an eye-watering hit of up to $1 trillion to taxpayers. The proposal would price more Australians out of the market and drive up taxes. #insiders

Peter Dutton promises to send workers wages and rights backwards, make secure jobs casual and leave workers poorer in retirement.

FFS! Dutton on #7.30 talking about “liberating the workforce “ by bringing retired building and construction workers back to solve the workforce shortage.
After a lifetime of hard manual work that takes a toll on your body only a minute number of retirees could return to work.

Is it just me, or do others think it is particularly disgusting that very well paid blokes in suits economists are being rolled out to criticise aged and childcare workers getting a pay rise?

Early educators welcome the budget commitment to fund wages in the sector.

'A wage increase is an absolute necessity to recognise the historical undervaluation of early educators,' says UWU Early Education Director Carolyn Smith.

.The AMWU has been campaigning for ‘Support Aussie Made’

Anthony Albanese’s announcement of a ‘Future Made in Australia’ delivers the biggest industrial policy shift in our lifetime

We move from ‘if’ we will make things here, to ‘how’ we will make things here

#Budget2024 #auspol

Last year we had the largest increase to award & minimum wages yet inflation fell 3%. This study shows virtually no impact on inflation when these workers get pay increases. A bit rich Shane Oliver? futurework.org.au/report/the-irr….

In #Rafah , chaos is everywhere.

Forcibly displacing civilians into areas that can't accommodate them is a humanitarian catastrophe on an entirely new level.

There is no space left in #Gaza & no safety anywhere.

Rachael Cummings, our Gaza Team Leader reports👇 #CeasefireNow

Whenever someone in the Coalition commits to “reforming industrial relations” - be very clear what this means - taking rights off workers & cutting wages
