Want to increase productivity?
Let’s start by helping Australians get the skills they want and we all need.

Labor supports prac payments and free tafe for nursing students. Sussan Ley and the Liberals took to the election a policy to slash and burn. @unionsaustralia @anmf_federal

Happy Public Education Day!
Yes, we’re pretty happy here because public education is always worth celebrating. Whether it’s backing our incredible teachers, strengthening public schools, or delivering free TAFE, Labor will always stand up for it.

In Australia we are passing stronger laws to protect workers from this deadly disease. In America they are shutting down their work health and safety agency.

Under the Albanese Government we have seen historic advances in the take up of TAFE, after neglect of the public system for more than a decade under the Coalition Government. We can't afford to go backwards. Don't vote for Dutton's TAFE cuts. #DontRiskDutton

Federation’s General Secretary @maxsharks and Deputy President @AFlohm join families, unions, workers, SafeWork NSW and government MPs at today's International Day of Mourning ceremony, hosted by Unions NSW.

Abolishing Free TAFE will deny opportunity to hundreds of thousands of Australians.
We're calling on all political parties to commit to protecting free TAFE, and to ensure that TAFE is at the centre of the vocational education system.

If you’re working this Easter, you deserve your penalty rates. Shame Peter Dutton wants to cut them.

Proposed technical colleges are no substitute for the TAFE funding the Coalition has said they will cut.
TAFE is the most cost-effective way for governments to deliver the vocational skills our country needs. It must be backed by governments to do so.

Cutting free TAFE is a heartless, short-sighted move from a Coalition that does not value public education.
Don't vote for Dutton's TAFE cuts at this election. #DontRiskDutton #ausvotes #auspol

The Australian Education Union has condemned Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and Shadow Education Minister Sarah Henderson plans to abolish Free TAFE, a program that has provided vocational education opportunities to hundreds of thousands of Australians. Read more: bit.ly/4jAL0F6

If it helps Gina Rinehart, the Coalition’s on board.
If it’s good for you? Not a chance.
