Total #HigherEducation funding per discipline matters most to universities, not student fees. The winners: creative arts, humanities, commerce, law, medicine and vet sci. The losers: communications, maths, engineering, science, psych, agriculture, education & nursing.

Wonderful ALP commitment to fix low social economy wages of mainly women, should require providers’ who benefit not to stack Executives and Boards with high paid men @vcoss @FutureSocialAU #auspol

[David Hayward 🌈 @DavidHaywardAU]

Federal Labor’s fabulous commitment to massively lift pay and conditions of child care workers means this is the social economy election we had to have. Aged care and disability workers will be next @vcoss @FutureSocialAU @rmit @Lloyd_hacsu @ACOSS

At the launch of Tasmania Report as guest of @TasCOSS with @EmmaKingVic. Hard not to conclude biggest problem is inequality: poverty leading to poor health, education and employment and too little spent fixing it via great social economy jobs of the future @VCOSS @FutureSocialAU

Stick to the plan to end family violence — wise words that should be listened to @vcoss ⁦@FutureSocialAU⁩ https://t.co/Kt5lTA6SEl

Here's our full statement on the prospect of a state owned or not-for-profit energy retailer in Victoria. 🔌

Today I introduced a bill to safeguard rights of people with a disability as we roll out the #NDIS. This will build a workforce that is accredited and secure It will make sure specialist disability accomodation complies with NDIS rights. #choiceandcontrol https://t.co/WTNrlHAZWc

@gavindufty Well spotted Gavin. A gift that keeps on giving, to electricity companies not consumers of course.

Good old News Corp and the Herald Sun. Who else would have thought of this for an angle?

Well-deserved recognition for Victoria’s wonderful and fearless Public Advocate, Colleen Pearce @RMIT @FutureSocialAU @VCOSS

Current government policy is to griw defence spending rapidly to reach, by 2021, you guessed it, 2% of GDP. What would you rather? #HACC @VCOSS @FutureSocialAU https://t.co/oygfD495Az

[SallyAThompson @SallyAThompson]

Who should pay for #hacc ? 2% GDP in the care industries would create 600000 new jobs and would increase female employment participation.

[VCOSS @VCOSS]

The Federal Budget actually reduces funding to address skills shortages.

This is a massive disappointment.

Supporting Victorians to learn and become job-ready is one of the best ways we can combat disadvantage.

And then there are those magic puddings... $373.4m in savings in 2021/22 from collecting social security debts. Really? #budget2018 @FutureSocialAU @VCOSS

[David Hayward 🌈 @DavidHaywardAU]

Some of the biggest savings are in Health, or are they? All I see are a lot of smoke and mirrors #budget2018 @FutureSocialAU @VCOSS

[David Hayward 🌈 @DavidHaywardAU]

If tax cuts are so big, how come revenues keep on increasing? #budget2018 @FutureSocialAU @VCOSS

[David Hayward 🌈 @DavidHaywardAU]

I wonder what these revenue “Decisions taken but not yet announced” might be? Also, funny that tax cuts don’t kick in till election year, isn’t it? #budget2018 @FutureSocialAU @VCOSS

[David Hayward 🌈 @DavidHaywardAU]

Great day for the Victorian social sector as Treasurer @timpallas shares breakfast and his thoughts on the budget with @VCOSS
