Nine recently gave a boss accused of misconduct a $1 million payout. It’s putting up Scotty Cam in a five star hotel for the Paris Olympics. But this very profitable company refuses to offer its journalists fair pay. That’s why we’re striking. @withMEAA #DontTorchJournalism

New data shows the pay gap widens substantially when women turn 35, earning $7.78 for every $10 earned by men. The disparity widens to $40,000 a year for workers aged 45 to 65. | EXCLUSIVE @TimnaJacks theage.com.au/national/natio…

National gender pay gap analysis paints bleak picture for women

The gender pay gap is about $40,000 a year for people aged 45 to 65, while women who reach senior executive roles are taking home nearly $100,000 less each year than their male counterparts.

Calls to expand access to oral COVID-19 drugs as expiry dates loom

Thousands of doses of expensive antiviral medications could be wasted if more Australians do not become eligible for the COVID-19 treatments.

Teachers quit union over ‘weakest’ workplace agreement

Victoria's Labor governments of the past would not have got into this mess in the first place, by naively accepting a proposal like this from a vested interest. Nor would they have kept digging and leant on agencies to comply like this when a project got into trouble.

Doctors join drive to give free flu jabs to all Australians

.@WoodsideEnergy paid the @CSIRO more than $140,000 to measure the impact of increasing gas supply on global emissions. When an answer came back that did not fit its narrative, the report was shelved. Until now: theage.com.au/business/banki… @theage @smh

Woodside contradicts CSIRO report debunking key climate claims

Woodside continued to claim its largest gas project would reduce emissions in Asia by replacing coal, despite commissioning a report by the CSIRO that found otherwise.

Long COVID must be taken seriously. As @TimnaJacks reports in @theage today - COVID-19 can have a significant impact on your health for many months after contracting the virus. If you are eligible to receive your booster, please don’t delay. amp.smh.com.au/national/insi…

Inside a long COVID clinic, a chronic condition is revealed

Why some people recover from long COVID at three, six or 24 months after infection, or don’t get long COVID at all, remains largely unexplained.
