A phoenix, in former PwC boss Luke Sayers, rising from the ashes of the tax leaks scandal, incredibly, to rake in the govt contracts lost to PwC when Finance effectively banned them from further work. There’ll be plenty of backslapping at the boys club if he gets away with this.

Revenue down, partner pay down, 200 jobs out the door, yet those at the top are still being rewarded with bonuses that in this case is nearly 9 times what most Australian workers earn in a year. I'd hate to see what a bad year looks like.

The Greens’ right to disconnect laws come into effect today! Workers need a right to disconnect because putting work to the side at 5pm is no longer as simple as leaving the building. These laws now protect millions of workers around the country. #auspol

Why is the government able to respond with such swift action for one firm but not another? Especially when the firm in question has contracts worth millions more. #auspol

Solidarity w' Uber drivers. Uber worth $152 bn has cut fares for drivers who are sleeping in cars, working 12-hr days & paying for insurance. Cutting fares to undermine access to minimum pay is malicious & leaves workers unprotected. People deserve more than insecure, low $ jobs.

Sayers & PwC have proven the Big 4 will always put profit before ethics. But we don’t have to keep flushing taxpayer funds down the toilet w' consultants whose MO is to secure more govt contracts ahead of delivering quality outcomes for taxpayers. #auspol shorturl.at/FdzWa

30 years ago exec pay was 17 times ordinary worker pay. Now it’s 50. Inequality on steroids in the land of the fair go. Executive pay jumped in the last year – so did the gulf between CEOs and the average worker theguardian.com/australia-news…

Peak bodies for auditors and accountants are up in arms over new requirements for their members to act ethically. It's hard enough to introduce progressive change in our society without stakeholders spreading fear and uncertainty in the community. canberratimes.com.au/story/8747916/…

Our efforts to shine a light on the gross overspending of public money on consultants and outsourced service delivery are paying off as we begin to see sizable reductions in consulting budgets going forward. Pressure works! if you want change, you've got to vote for it.

These top legal firms have been managing workloads and after hours deadlines for years and they say the Right To Disconnect laws negotiated by the Greens ensure that staff can work sustainably and without risks to their health, while managing clients’ needs. Pressure works!

There are so many good reasons to extend the length of paid parental leave - but how’s this: a 4 week extension in Hong Kong is associated with a 22% fall in post natal depression. womensagenda.com.au/life/health/mo…
