Giving minimum wage earners (about 100,000 people) a 6% wage increase to match inflation, and the 3m or so workers who have awards tied to it a 4.75% is not going to cause a wage price spiral. It means they can buy what they are already buying. Like bread AND milk and maybe some biscuits and fuel
Sarah Martin is an incredible journalist and Hanson personally attacking her for very standard questions shows just how down the Trump normalisation we are. And it will come to all journalists who do their job.
I learned an academic who wrote about students not cutting corners in learning (by using AI) had used AI to write her opinion piece. Confirmed with the uni last night.
Went to Nine about it this morning. Never responded but pulled the article and pubbed their own www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Pauline Hanson's attack on Sarah Martin at the press club just now was abhorrent, but what was absolutely shameful was the journalists in the room applauding it. Where is your workplace solidarity? What the hell do you think this kind of behaviour leads to?
I have been working on this for a little while now. It’s a story that stunned me when I heard it and showed the contours of a problem that is deep and structural. Please read 🩷

The National Media Sector of @withmeaa.bsky.social put this statement together yesterday in the wake of Sarah being attacked by Hanson at the press club. We need to call out attacks on press freedom when we see them. It's journalists standing together against this stuff that is going to stop it.
