The Allan government is wielding the axe as it tries to rein in spending in the May budget. Thousands of public service workers are in the firing line as part of a review into the public sector. Victorian Trades Hall Council Assistant Secretary Danae Bosler joins @MelinaSarris7.

NewsCorp held a NewsCorp awards and then dedicated a page in all mastheads to celebrate that NewsCorp won. #welldoneangus

This is better than any speech from a politician we’ve heard recently 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The consequences for going against the official party line are mostly felt by people who are not the absolute worst. The absolute worst people seem to get on fine. They get promoted.

Labour official: "But [we are] delighted and relieved. You don’t know paranoia like Labour members". Oof. It's not paranoia. It's a learned behaviour. #UKLabour

The YWC kicks arse for the working class.

Ella and Lucy demonstrated peaceful solidarity with Palestine, which resulted in them losing their livelihood.
The YWC is proud to stand with Ella and Lucy in reaching this outcome.

Just a personal observation: people with multiple properties are complaining about land tax and some are even selling. This is incredibly good to see. #auspol #HousingCrisis

Do the headline editors at the @theheraldsun even read the articles? This article is about how educators aren't receiving enough support to do cultural inclusion properly. There is no "politically correct" childcare focus, and unsurprisingly, doing nothing isn't working.

Thousands of Victorian doctors are not being paid for the excessive overtime they work.

The State government needs to ensure these workers are back-paid, and fix the culture of burnout and wage theft in our public hospitals.

After today @VictorianLabor will need to re-design their membership cards. Labor is certainly no longer the party of workers compensation.

75% of lawyers have NEVER settled a harassment case without a gag order preventing the victim from sharing their experience.
It protects perpetrators, endangers coworkers, and prevents organising for change. We need to #endndas

Premium freezes are why the scheme is broke. Labor are kicking injured workers and repeating the same mistakes. Disgraceful. Labor MPs will wear this for a long time to come.

[Victorian Trades Hall Council @VicUnions]

Throwing injured workers to the wolves is not the answer. Scrap these WorkCover changes, start again, and try ACTUALLY consulting with workers next time.

Read this incredible article from comrade @laurenkatekelly - Woolies and Coles need to be reined in. #ausunions

"This proposal is giving off serious Liberal/conservative vibes" #springst

[Victorian Trades Hall Council @VicUnions]

Behind every penny they try to pinch in order to 'reform' WorkCover, there are real people, with real concerns, who really need a comprehensive WorkCover system. Here's what one of those people had to say to the Minister. #springst

[Victorian Trades Hall Council @VicUnions]

"Half-baked penny pinching" - this is what real workers think of the Victorian Government's WorkCover proposals. Time to go back to the drawing board. #springst

[Victorian Trades Hall Council @VicUnions]

WorkCover saves lives. These changes will only hurt vulnerable Victorian workers. #springst
