So what I just read about is a baby terrorist training camp, right?
This would be front page news and a press conference from Anthony Albanese if someone’s ‘club’ was promoting a ‘Hamas Heroes fun day’. This is grotesque. That they feel free to do this here speaks volumes about us as a nation.

They could bring in caps for spending on consultants, and wages for top public servants - but they won't. They'll just slash services and remove capacity from the system. To fund stage 3 tax cuts and AUKUS.

Your regular reminder that higher wages for one group of workers increases pressure on other employers to pay *their* workers better. Including you. The reverse is also true - using contractors to undercut wages and conditions helps reduce yours as well.

It’s not an accident that the HR Nicholls Society is back. Its role from 1986 was to crush the conditions for workers. A slight uptick, finally, in the last few years: “discipline” of the masses raises its pasty head from the coffin.
How do you feel about being “disciplined” by the wealthy?

I don't know which is worse: that Raf Epstein doesn't think that the new "stop and search" campaign in Melbourne will be racially targeted, or that he knows it will be but pretends he doesn't
