If you only read one thing about the Laura Tingle/racism debacle, make it this one. Jo Dyer (@instanterudite) nails what we're all thinking. I'm fkg sick of the RW media and @ABCaustralia repeatedly kowtowing to them. #IStandWithLauraTingle #AusPol

This referendum is unifying.

Corporates working with unions; religions walking side by side; multicultural Australians rallying for First Peoples.

Coalition members resigning to campaign together with Labor, Greens & Independents. All State & Territory leaders in favour of YES.

.@CPSUnion team about to hit the stage at #LaborConf23 moving our amendment to replace the privatised profit driven employment services system with a new public service that it actually about giving people the help they need to secure a decent job.

Is anyone surprised that the Downer family oppose the VOICE? No one should be surprised. They come from a long line of racists. Cruelty runs through their veins. #VoiceToParliament #VoteYesAustralia

Unbelievable that the old govt attacked the poorest people through Robodebt and now defend small super changes to the most wealthy #qanda

Exec summary of #RobodebtRC in song
😢😢😢#auspol

[Glenno and Ruben @mad6duck]

So some have suggested i do a song about the #RobodebtRC well here it is. Apologies to the great Bob Dylan who wrote the best injustice song ever...."Hurricane" i felt this was the best tune for these lyrics and this story. I can rely on yas to retweet the hell out of it yeah? 🙏

Big week with the YES campaign launching this week. ⁦@CPSUnion⁩ stands with First Nations people and supports YES for the Voice campaign #Yes23 #unionsforyes

[Royce Kurmelovs @RoyceRk2]

The transcript of this exchange with Shane West of PwC at the #RobodebtRC, covering why the firm appears to have been paid to not deliver a critical report, could by itself be used to justify a radical re-evaluation about the role of consulting firms in public life.

Our members in the ABC are pushing to industrial action.

With rising costs of living, ABC staff deserve a fair pay rise #ausunions

[Karen Atherton @KazzaJA]

The point @ScottMorrisonMP is ducking is that the process WAS changed, historically people were asked to check BEFORE a debt was formally raised, not appeal AFTER a dodgy debt was issued. A world of difference. #Robodebt #robodebtroyalcommission

@MundayJessica You must have been sooo pleased to find that t-shirt! Love it.

"$36 trillion sits in secretive tax havens and we must hold multinational corporations and the super-rich to account. This is robbing communities of nurses, community workers, teachers, emergency service workers - the list goes on " @katelap #ituc22

@CPSU_NT_KayD Awesome trio! 💪🏻❤️

[Karen Atherton @KazzaJA]

@anatosaurus Possible that the failure was their politics and ideology and not the messaging? (Always a dreamer).
Would love to see this if you can post a clip for your Aussie friends. ❤️

Nobody should be fooled by the business lobby. They oppose bargaining changes because they don’t want workers to get higher wages by bargaining together #insiders
