UNION WIN: Changes to the Industrial Relations Act strengthening work, health and safety laws have passed Parliament. NSW workers have won the biggest increase in working rights in over 30 years.
Hours before the election, the liberals have announced they will cut paid pracs for social work, teaching and nursing students.
It was ASU members working with students and universities that won paid pracs, and we will fight to protect it.

REMINDER: Peter Dutton voted 8 times against protecting penalty rates.
70% of Australians say that protecting penalty rates is important when it comes to deciding how they will vote.

Dutton doesn’t have a #nuclear plan
He made a dangerous nuclear announcement
An announcement that is designed to divide us
To create another climate culture war & delay action on climate change
To deny manufacturing workers a secure future
#auspol#energy
Today @AlboMP announced a ‘Future made in Australia’
Government is stepping up to create #Manufacturing jobs in #renewable energy industries
Good unionised jobs for the #workers who have powered our economy & regions for generations
This is leadership

Late last night, trams started testing through the Parramatta CBD.
Everyone deserves access to good public transport - regardless of where you live.
And we’re delivering it.
Services start later this year.
Awad Darawshe was a Muslim paramedic who was near the site of the music festival massacre.
His friends begged him to leave but he insisted on staying to treat the wounded.
He was murdered by Hamas and his ambulance was stolen and driven into the Gaza Strip.
A hero.
May his memory be a blessing.
98% of Sydney water union members 2day voted 4 protected industrial action. In all my time as union official & Labor Politician can’t recall such an emphatic vote for PIA. I commend union members @SydneyWaterNews for standing up @asu_nsw_act@NSW_ETU@theamwu@ProfsAustralia
50 days ago, Mick and I led a rally to save Sydney Water - this week we deliver on that promise.
We're doing this by protecting Sydney Water from privatisation in our constitution.
Just like it should be.
