Staff at the Age, SMH, Financial Review, Brisbane Times and WA Today are on strike for the next five days after rejecting Nine management’s 3 per cent pay offer. We’ve had a real wages cut of 6 per cent between 2020-23. Enough is enough. #DontTorchJournalism

[Kishor @kishor_nr]

Nine recently gave a boss accused of misconduct a $1 million payout. It’s putting up Scotty Cam in a five star hotel for the Paris Olympics. But this very profitable company refuses to offer its journalists fair pay. That’s why we’re striking.

The contest of ideas - with comments switched off. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[The Australian @australian]

Welcome to ideas that encourage debate and ignite thought. Ideas that are scrutinised, dissected, and pieced back together again. Welcome to the contest of ideas.

@GurnIpsen @pwafork @ChrisLXXXVI You want to replace Cook with Nelson?

@daveanthony My first thought when I saw the news was, “Oh, Dave will be pleased.”

@KathrynBertine I was yelling at my TV for that last kilometre. She was so close.

@Catta_2022 @markymark188 @miketomalaris Nah mate, I just read stuff. I'd recommend it. You'd find it's pretty well documented that rego doesn't pay for roads, most of it gets spent on administering the rego system. Every taxpayer/ratepayer in the country pays for roads, whether they drive or not.

[Matt Collins @matty71]

@Catta_2022 @markymark188 @miketomalaris About as much as your rego.

Australia needs a referendum on beer sizes. A national standard. I vote the Schooner. A pint is too much and a middy is too small.

Personally, I can't stand swimmers in swimming lycra. Can't understand what's wrong with a few laps in the swimming pool in "normal clothes".🤔

[Tyron Butson @tbutson]

These ⁦@smh⁩ and ⁦@FinancialReview⁩ journos are calling on Nine to come to them with a fair pay offer, career progression for younger staff and minimums for freelancers #FairShareNine
