‘A firm uppercut’: Travel industry boss lashes out at ACA host. Highly paid males using physically violent language against women. Alan Jones often, this bloke, Liberal operative “kick her to death” about Julia Gillard. Weak, cowardly men. Sickening ☹️ smh.com.au/national/a-firm-u…

We need urgent support for workers in the arts and entertainment industry. No JobKeeper & no JobSeeker for many. We cannot tolerate leaving these workers behind @withMEAA

40% of jobs in our country are insecure. These are the types, are/were you in one of them? It's time we halved the number of insecure jobs:
- casual
- fixed term
- labour hire
- gig
- part-time with hours that go up & down

Really sorry to hear about the death of Eavan Boland. What an astonishing poet. Here are her tips for recognising our lovers in the underworld...

2/ The hierarchical people don’t believe equality is possible. They think people naturally form hierarchies.
They see a democratic government as giving handouts to those who don’t deserve it and hampering people who can get things done. (They don't like "rules" in their way.)

4/ Trump’s base loves him because he tells them they're the top of the hierarchy and he’s the strongman who will defeat their enemies and protect their “liberty.”
The part they like is being at or near the top of the hierarchy. They think the "weak" are trying to displace them.

“This is crazy." Patients in 30s & 40s left debilitated or dead from strokes due to #COVID19. “We used to think 60 as young when it comes to large vessel occlusions. We have never seen so many in their 50s, 40s and late 30s.”'

The Morrison government *really* hates universities. It has changed the rules (again) to make sure La Trobe University doesn't qualify for JobKeeper

Why is the Government allowing call centres with workers crammed in with the same air conditioning? The ACTU call centre moved to working from home a month ago. The technology is there, use it! theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Some employers are trying to exploit the pandemic to push the barrow they have been pushing forever - to take rights off workers. This is a sad indictment on them and any politician who supports them.
