"All governments now face two great challenges, one easier than the other: First, how to re-engage in the regulation of private firms and even nationalisation, and second, how to pay for the expansion of the state that is now demanded." thenewdaily.com.au/finance/f… #auspol #taxcuts

Freelance rates at Nine Publishing have gone backwards in real terms by 59% over the past 20 years!

Freelance delegates at Guardian Australia stand in solidarity with Nine Publishing colleagues on strike.
They will not be pitching or submitting work to Nine during the strike and urge all freelancers to do the same.

With a highly fragmented media landscape, compounded with entrenched info echo chambers, the fight is on to save and sustain what is left of public interest journalism. Don’t buy, consume, or share Nine Media N’papers this week and nxt in #Solidarity.
#MEAAmedia freelancers are standing shoulder to shoulder with Nine Publishing journalists as they go on strike for quality journalism. #DontTorchJournalism

You can also help @TVO_CMG's producers, journalists, and educators get back to work by:
✅ Asking @JlOrridge & co. to give @TVO_CMG members a fair deal.
✅ Requesting @Sflecce to grant binding arbitration.
✅ Telling @fordnation you'd like him to #FundTVOLikeItMatters.
Congratulations to our Union @withMEAA and the team. “From little things big things grow” FreelanceCharterOfRights #auspol #unionsolidarity – at Newcastle, New South Wales
Literary magazine @OverlandJournal is the first publication to sign on to the #Freelance Charter of Rights! This is a huge step towards securing fair conditions and rates for freelancers across the industry. freelancers.org.au/overland-… #MEAAmedia

Clearing out old files: A letter sent to The Bulletin during my first year as Editor. I now realise why I was sacked 18 months later.

Finished a book. REALLY finished it. Out of my hands and off to the printers for a Feb 2023 release @newsouthpub. Yeehah!

Oh, that's bloody fantastic - "he did it for us." Full marks to that voter. Perhaps we should all get on the blower and request a personal apology. However, I wonder if the staff brief included the phrase "freaked out" as how best to respond to ungrateful voters' queries. #auspol
Just got an email from a voter who has called @ScottMorrisonMP office asking to schedule a time for the former prime minister to offer a personal apology to him as a Australian 🤪

ABC’s Louise Yaxley gave me my first job at Parliament House. She’s a legend of the craft who will be sorely missed. Today she was rightly acknowledged in Question Time by the Prime Minister and Opposition Leader for her role in shaping the national conversation 👏👏👏
@AlanKohler "Shvets may be right, but in the meantime the simpler solution in this country at least is to abandon the Stage 3 tax cuts and to prepare Australians for higher taxes and a larger, more hands-on government." Easier said than done, but so badly needed now. #auspol
I certainly hope it will prevent fogging up of your eyeglasses. Nevertheless, a wise move and call to action. #Omicron #WearAMask #auspol #Covid22
As my workmates groan back to work after #covid - some having had two rounds of #Omicron this year - they dont laugh at me any more - they ask where they can get a Halo mask like mine…
Workplaces that are not flexible to allow high level reusable PPE will keep losing staff.

On my first day as Foreign Minister, I want to share some thoughts with our Pacific family.
Our region faces unprecedented challenges, but we will face them together.
We will achieve our shared aspirations together.
And we will listen because we care what the Pacific has to say.

No from memory Rudd in 2013 and Morrison 2019. But you would have to go back decades to find one who didn’t do the NPC in the final week.
Genuine question: Is this election the first time a sitting PM has refused to be interviewed on @InsidersABC during the campaign since the program started? 🤔 #ausvotes #Insiders
