This is excellent work from TWU members here - a collective agreement and a minimum wage for food delivery workers. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
Minimum wage proposed for gig economy workers - ABC listen
Drivers working in the gig economy for Uber Eats and DoorDash may soon be earning a minimum wage if a deal with the union is passed by the Fair Work Commission.

"It is located 5km from the town of Deniliquin, but none of that town’s population of more than 2,700 people objected to it.

All 66 objections came from more than 50 kms away, with 60 of them from people located more than 100kms away, and 26 from interstate"

Indeed, there were no objections that related specifically to this project, its location or its impact on any local fauna or flora. It is likely that few if any of the objectors had actually read the project documents in detail. Several objectors think the battery is actually a wind farm, and others think it is a solar project. One is concerned about its impact on the catchment of the Keiwa River, which is 250 kms away, located in another state and on the other side of the Murray River. Maybe they had been encouraged to complain about another project, and forgot to change it for this one. Most simply don’t like the idea of renewables: “Soon, we’ll all be in the dark thanks to delusional Global Boiling cultists!” said one. Some object to the use of agricultural land for a big battery. But the project is located right next to a substation, and is not used for any grazing or crops because it has been degraded by a gravel borrow pit on the site, which has formed a depression with poor soils and weedy vegetation. The battery project developers are actually proposing to do something the previous users didn’t do – rehabilitate it so it can actually be used for agriculture in the future, perhaps sheep grazing. The department of planning said it is likely the project would improve the land, not degrade it. There were plenty of constructive consultations, mostly with local council and other bodies such as the Rural Fire Service, the local Fire Brigade, the local irrigation council, and other entities. The developers, Avenis, responded accordingly and made some adjustments to the project. It has waded through thousands of pages of documents and patiently responded to each and every concern, no matter how wild the claim. The NSW Planning department noted the considerable local benefits, saying some $1.4 million in community benefits had been offered via the council through a voluntary planning agreement, and also noting the injection of some $206 million of capital inv…

Power for its own sake, and no courage – Labor loses its way
Having tasted long-term power, this Labor Party seems guided only by the possession of power as an end to itself.

Of the 4287 times Jess Wilson said ‘we’ve drawn a line in the sand’ did one journalist ask why said line needed to be drawn, and if so did Wilson reply with anything substantive?

A reminder that COP31 defaulting to Bonn, Germany would be very bad for efforts to address climate change as there would only be six months to organise the event, this rush would result in a process with vastly diminished capacity.
Screenshot of story in The Financial Review citing inside sources saying the Australian government believes next year's COP will default to Germany.

The idea that liberals like Brandis and Bragg fear Hastie because they "can't control" his post-liberal (reactionary?) philosophy...

Why should we discard the simpler explanation that results of this Red Tory revolution in Australia have been very poor?
