This day has been a long time coming @monashuniversity.bsky.social. We presented evidence of wage theft to your obscenely paid IR consultants from 2014 onwards. Well done members of @nteumonash.bsky.social
In session in the Federal Court for Monash Uni’s wage theft case. I’ll be live posting from this hearing today. The NTEU alleges Australia’s largest university has not lawfully paid hundreds, perhaps thousands, of its casual teachers going back to 2016. Justice Snaden is the judge.

‘Market failure’ hey? This is a failure of successive state and federal governments deluding themselves that the market will take care of housing needs. So catch up requires redirection of state funds, eg cancel Suburban rail loop in Melbourne, with federal support

History of our housing debacle, thanks to Radio National today: Thatcher sold off a lot of public housing reducing it to 17% of Britain's housing stock. Our state governments have out done her by reducing ours to 3.7% 😡 While only the banks profit from the half baked schemes of Libs and Labor

Max Chandler-Mather says Greens were close to achieving concessions around a rent freeze and negative gearing changes. Follow today’s news live Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast The independent MP Zoe Daniel was on ABC News Breakfast earlier to discuss her alternative to the under-16 social media ban, which she introduced as a private member’s bill yesterday. Daniel said her bill would implement an overarching statutory duty of care on social media companies “that goes to safety by design – but that in and of itself is not enough”. What you need to make that work is the companies to assess the risks, mitigate the risks, be transparent about how they’re doing that. The bill builds in penalties so if the companies do not comply, they could be fined up to 10% of global revenue. Also, their onshore executives could be held accountable for that … and the bill also has a provision to enable users to have control over the algorithm, as exists overseas, particularly in the EU … [There are] obviously privacy concerns, and given the government’s had to pull their misinformation [and] disinformation – or their censoring the Australian public – bill from the Senate this week, we want to make sure we get strong, robust laws that don’t damage the [right to] privacy and make compulsory Australians having to have digital IDs.
