Hundreds of ABC union members walking off the job on Wednesday morning. They are taking 24-hour strike action for the first time in 20 years. They're deadly serious about fighting for a fair agreement that protects their conditions, and has a pay rise that won't leave them worse off.
Union members at the ABC are walking off the job today for 24 hours from 11am to protest a low pay offer which would leave them behind financially at time when the price of everything is going up. ABC staff provide a vital service, they deserve decent pay. #auspol2026 #AusUnions #ourABC

One rule for bosses, another for staff. ABC workers deserve a better deal.

Did you know that a private sector debt collection company used by the ATO:
a) mistreats vulnerable taxpayers and welfare recipients
b) exploits its own staff through low pay and poor training
c) and - cherry on top - pays zero corporate tax.
Yet the govt continues to pay them millions of dollars.

First up, Deloitte used AI to write a Government report for that had bogus sources, sparking a refund and new contract rules. Now it seems their correction needs correcting. Once more for those up the back: outsourcing public sector work doesn’t work.

The CPSU said the government should be "backing the CSIRO, not forcing them to be penny pinchers. We’ve already seen more than 700 jobs cut from CSIRO, and hundreds more are expected to go.” #auspol #CSIRO www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
A disgraced contractor writing a Govt report about how a dodgy tech and the removal of human oversight led to the Robotdebt disaster used dodgy AI to write the report. Irony is dead. And robust public administration will be too unless there are proper AI guardrails in the APS. Read more: gqr.sh/L9YM
After losing the election, the Coalition dropped its plan to slash public services. Now it seems they want to attack the people who access them.
In an increasingly volatile global economy, we need ideas and innovation more ever. So why are CSIRO cutting 100s of research jobs? #auspol
Whether it's inventing game-changers like wi-fi or polymer banknotes, or new agricultural techniques, the CSIRO has a proud history taking our nation forward. In an increasingly volatile global economy, we need ideas and innovation more ever. So why are CSIRO cutting 100s of research jobs? #auspol
The @cpsu.org.au argues the federal government should intervene to stop ongoing CSIRO job cuts, given the current focus on productivity and R&D.
We've asked the govt for comment, but they've previously resisted such calls.
