A dishwasher in a cafe/restaurant will now earn $78/hr on a public holiday. A dishwasher/kitchen hand. This is the base rate, it goes up from here.
How are small business owners going to survive this?
Unpopular opinion-This is insane!
In the space of a week.. $WHC.AX refinanced US$600m debt at ~6% secured debt, $YAL.AX got US$1.2bn acquisition debt facility and $NHC.AX refinanced a US$200m con note facility.. at 2.5% coupon (plus w/e conversion px is)..
We are well past peak ESG.. capital markets are open to dirty KING COAL!
A 1.4% levy on the gambling industry could compensate the media for ALL revenue lost from a potential gambling advertising ban.
Australians lose more money gambling than any other country. It's time for our governments to act.

If Albo had said...
"Right, shit's fucked. Sorry we didn't prepare for this. So, we're going to team up with Trump, send in the big guns & get oil out here stat. Then, we're going to start producing our own shit so we're never in this mess again".
..I'd probably vote for him.
Australia was handed one of the greatest starting positions of any country in history
Massive mineral wealth. Abundant energy. World-class beaches. Amazing climate. No fault lines... no earthquakes or tsunamis
If you gave a 12-year-old this setup in a civilisation-building game, they'd build a paradise
Instead, we got decades of useless politicians on both sides of the aisle who couldn't run a sausage sizzle at Bunnings without a $4 billion feasibility study and a royal commission
Australia isn't unlucky. It's grossly mismanaged
"I was today years old when I found out the Australian government makes more from taxing beer ($2.7 billion) than from our massive LNG exports ($1.5 billion).
Australia is one of the world's top LNG exporters — yet beer drinkers are subsidising the budget more than big gas corporations.
Make this make sense
Australians, you aren't angry enough about this. 😡🔥
Thanks @AlboMP
First patient trials for lung cancer vaccine starts.
A lung cancer patient in the UK has become one of the first to participate in a groundbreaking trial for the world's first vaccine against the disease.
The vaccine, known as BNT116 and developed by BioNTech, utilises messenger RNA (mRNA) technology to help the immune system recognise and attack cancer cells.
The world-first jab is designed to target non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which makes up 85 percent of all lung cancer cases.
It works by presenting the patient’s immune system with information about common tumour markers associated with NSCLC.
This specific targeting aims to destroy cancer cells while minimising damage to healthy cells, in contrast to the effects of chemotherapy.
This ground-breaking study will involve about 130 patients with various stages of NSCLC, ranging from early stages before surgery or radiotherapy to late-stage disease, across 34 research sites in seven countries.
As well as the UK, the trial is being rolled out in four other European countries - Germany, Spain, Poland, and Hungary - as well as the United States and Turkey.
Thousands of patients are expected to take part in follow-up trials over the next few years.
@longhorncapital You want the venue to absorb the merchant fee? If so, you’ve got no idea what you’re talking about. Pubs may be different but most hospitality venues run on 5-8% profit and if you’ve got the turnover you’re talking over $60k a year in merchant fees. Why would you absorb that?
