Did the Tresurer, accuse Labor of wasting time after they finished early as they had no business to discuss? Parks members are also pretty in about with Ministe Duigan.

Well that’s a problem, someone deemed them non-essential and they are essential.
For 75 years, every time any U.S. state has requested epidemiologic assistance (an “Epi-Aid”), CDC sent disease detectives. Now, Wisconsin has asked for help to address newly discovered lead poisoning in Milwaukee. But all CDC experts in lead poisoning were just fired.

It starts…watch every bussiness lobby group now roll out their ‘research’ on the need to lower red tape and taxes. What’s missing from this article is the fact new suburbs have to be connected to services, taxes help ensure they are not waste lands with no schools, transport of service hubs #politas

Today the Treasurer announced an immediate job freeze for all ‘non essential roles’ in an attempt to ‘right size the public sector’.

Solidarity to every park worker in America who has fought fires, led rescues and protects our wild places. The thin green line is a position of activism in many countries and now, rangers activism is needed in the US #auspol #union #proudtobepublic
El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Which ever way you look the public service is under attack, Trump, Dutton and Rockliff. Here in Australia cutting the public service to fund corporate welfare and electoral hand outs prior to an election. In reality, cuts to the public service just cost shift to ordinary Aussie’s #auspol

The skill, committment and determination of our remote fire fighters who put their lives on the line to save our natural and unique conservation sites is phenomenal. It’s beyond time we recognise Parks and Wildlife as an emergency service #politas #fire #PWS

Last year they tried to reduce staffing to the Monitoring and Comliance Unit, this year they are out their doing photos ops #politas

450M of cuts over 4 years to Tassie services. Being rolled out now, yet the Rockliff government is refusing to release the details. This information is in the public interest, it should be released. This government promised transparency and fails at every turn #politas #integirty

What a dud deal. This would pay for three rangers in PWS, instead we are paying for a profitable companies marketing. Corporate welfare #politas

Australia at the forefront of extinction, not a race you want to win. And Rockliff government cutting the agency tasked with slowing this, NRET #changenotcuts #politas

Victim of it’s success or privatisation? In the beginning funded to be a complement to existing services then over time funded diverted so it becomes a primary service provider. And it fails under the demand.

Are Parks are under pressure for all the right reasons, people want to go see our wild places. But the efficiency dividend must be lifted, so they can protect and manage the very places people want to visit #parks #tourism #tassie #protect #changenotcuts

Hear hear we must position Parks as the primary resource for hiking information. Otherwise we will see the instagram effect lead inexperienced walkers into dangerous places. Our parks are so central to our tourist experience yet we fail to adequately invest in them.

Nice for Bill Shorten to attend the ALP Tassie Chrissy drinks, great speech. Might not have made it to PM but the legacy of the NDIS is something to be proud of. Needs a bit of work to include those with #nuerodiversity but what a baseline to work from.

Well behind best practice for protecting whistleblowers, no one wants to be a whistleblower but democracy is undermined if we don’t support whistleblowers.
Australia’s treatment of whistleblowers is downright dystopian. Heroes like Richard Boyle and David McBride face jail for exposing the truth, while billionaires and corporations dodge accountability. We need to do better. #auspol #RichardBoyle #DavidMcBride

This approach to public services is critical, it’s all a lot better if we have skin in the game so to speak.

The Climate Council is doing good work presenting the facts re costs of #renewables vs #nuclear. I don't expect the mainstream news media will bother reporting this data. Perhaps @australianlabor.bsky.social and the @greens.org.au could address Dutton's misinformation. #auspol #energy #ClimateAction

That’s a moment in time.
Video shows thousands of cars jamming roads to Damascus as displaced people return to the capital after hearing the Assad regime had been overthrown by the opposition.

Multipartite discussions in action. If we are going to find the solution to workforce shortages and building the workforce of the future we need to delve into the what and the why #JSC #politas #auspol
