These are the pay equity claims that the government wiped out in just two days to make its budget balance. It's appalling that tax breaks for tobacco companies are being funded by cutting women's pay rises and backpay.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Pope Francis dedicated his papacy to creating a more inclusive, loving, and equitable Catholic Church. My heart is with all of those who found faith, community, and hope under his leadership. He was a pillar of progress for the Catholic community and the world. May he rest in peace.
Pope Francis, the Catholic Church’s first Latin American pontiff, has died. He was 88.

If you're struggling to afford produce, check out:
- farmers markets, which have a weird reputation for being bougie despite almost always being cheaper than grocery chains
- Asian and Desi grocery stores
- flea markets, which usually have locals selling produce

Imagine being one of the 40K that have lost their public service jobs and be told that the coalition are spending $12,000,000,000 that's right "Billion" dollars on the armed forces
A kick in the arse
And to those staff that have to work harder after the removal of work colleagues
