The registration details of "Antipoverty Centre INC" (Reg # INC2200023) shown above are not listed anywhere on the Antipoverty Centre website, but can be viewed by searching the NSW government database of Incorporated Associations at:

[Dole Union ... #BeyondAUWU @doleunion]

Why does the Antipoverty Centre claim on its website to be committed to "radical transparency" but does NOT mention where donations go?

It somehow "forgot" to mention:
- its Incorporated Association
- constitution
- membership process
- elections ???

@JeremyPoxon Yep. AUWU have failed to engage with people who have valid critiques of it's methods. Those people may have had critical answers to the current stalemate, but who would ever know? Transformative .... nice word.

AUWU main Twitter account has now blocked @DoleUnion

Very grassroots and interactive, and keen to improve.

New AUWU president @JezHeywood tweeted on 15/2 regarding "bad faith attacks on AUWU comrades” … that “this shit has to stop”.

Yes Jez. AUWU shit.

Now … mend bridges with people who have been wrongly attacked by the AUWU, expelled and marginalised, based on falsehoods.

4/4

It takes courage to call out errors in real time, when everyone else in the AUWU 🛖 cubby house is giddy on Kool Aid ... (or too fragile to see criticism as constructive + essential)

The @DoleUnion critique of AUWU has just always been 4 years ahead of the curve.

@RexRaynor1 @ThriceGreatAlex AUWU "branches" have always been left to rot. They are not in the AUWU constitution. Never any training for facilitators.

One FB group in Melb (Outer Melb North) has not been contacted by AUWU committee for many YEARS. Makes a mockery of their "reforms".

AUWU has a Special General Meeting on 18/9 to change its Constitution (incl. membership criteria)
It's supposedly the fruit🍎of:
"10 months of root-and-branch structural and governance reform" - Sec Daniel Levy on Twitter (8/9)

But still no definition of branches?!
Oopsy? 🔍

[Dole Union ... #BeyondAUWU @doleunion]

The only "limit" on who might get this AUWU slush money 💰??

Those who "went over & above what could be reasonably expected of a volunteer, to help steer the Association through the unprecedented challenges it faced."

Sloppy.
Self-serving.
Dumb.

AUWU is a $100k cubby house 🏠

AUWU INC is scheduled to have an Annual General Meeting soon.

Significant legal issues continue to be swept under the carpet.

The 2022 Committee have been advised repeatedly (i.e. @traceysmallwoo5 @jezheywood @djlevy4821 @jeremypoxon @raquela036)

SILENCE.

Good to see @billshortenmp announcing a review of MyGov website.
https://t.co/vcZcW6NlLA

What are the "Terms of Reference" for the review, and email contact for the Secretariat?

Currently MyGov terms say any account

@billshortenmp The enquiry into MyGov maybe got zero publicity and traction? It should have already been concluded and delivered to the Minister by now.

No mention of public submissions.

@bugwannostra @billshortenmp .@bugwannostra has blocked this account, rather than providing a direct primary source of his claim that 33% of suicides in Australia are people on unemployed benefits.

[Dole Union ... #BeyondAUWU @doleunion]

@bugwannostra @billshortenmp Govt statistics here say 2-6% of male suicides related to unemployment, not 33%:

[Dole Union ... #BeyondAUWU @doleunion]

@bernielak @bugwannostra Only 2-6% (for males) -->

‘Unemployment, unspecified’ was a frequent risk factor in males in all age groups (associated with 2–6% of deaths by suicide in 2017 to 2019) except those aged 65 and older; however, this was not a common risk factor in females of any age.

@bernielak @bugwannostra Other supposed evidence for the 33% suicide claim seems misquoted :

@bugwannostra The claim of "33% suicides are on unemployment" is MISQUOTED.

@bugwannostra @billshortenmp The claim of "33% of suicide on unemployment payments" was disputed in a 2021 thread.

Evidence for the high claim would need to be detailed in formal paper @bugwannostra ... as these are claims and issues not to be tossed around lightly.
