This is not **News** per se, by which I mean this is not a new development. In one form or another, precarious agricultural workers have been take *to the cleaners* over the centuries (from Australia’s colonial past to the present #NeoLiberal #NeoColonialism). Wherever there’s a buck to be made by skipping around laws and regulations, there is sure to be some clever arsehole that comes up with a scheme to vaccum up easy cash. That, is the state our society has come down to and some of the worst perpetrators of this *financial fraud* are #LabourHire companies. They provide nothing that can’t be had by other more equitable schemes and skim the cream off the top for the privilege of screwing workers. ** A pox on all their houses.**
“Australia's growing reliance on temporary migrant labour has fuelled a booming labour hire industry, with contractors sitting between growers and workers, often recruiting, transporting and housing them.” (Source: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-04/australias-hidden-modern-slave-labour-workforce-exposed/106968610 )

RE: https://aus.social/@Blacksmithoz/117017551134332056
How can we allow this kind of rort to go on…? How *responsible* is it for govts, meant to *represent* our wishes and act on them, to ignore the magnitude of #StateCapture?
Wake up people, the representatives we have elected so far in our democratic history ARE NOT your friends, they do not “Represent” YOU.
Get active, get political, make your vote count wherever you live before that voting power is taken away from you for ever.

TBF, #tRump has an impact on the rest of the world and that makes him newsworthy no matter one’s personal opinion of #POSUS or his administration. But newsworthy doesn’t mean ‘parroting’ what he said and ought to be footnoted with some kind of ‘fact checking’, I agree. I don’t expect the ABC to pull up it’s socks anytime soon. It needs a non-neoliberal journalist at the helm for that.#GiveMeBackMyABC #USPol #ThisIsNotJournalism #Antifa #AntiNeoLiberalism #TaxTheRich #NoMoreBillionaires #LimitMillionaires

#UnionBusting practices have been very successful in the last 50 years or so and this is the result. Beats me why ‘workers’ are too stupid to realise this. The only way to secure ‘workers’ (wage and salary earners) rightful share of the national wealth is through #Unionism. Strong, courageous and principled (Are you reading this #ACTU #SallyMcManus ?) willing to fight against all forms of govt for the benefit of all workers. I remember a time when Unions weren’t in bed with govts and strike funds coffers were full.#JoinYourUnion or keep loosing. Those are the choice, ever were so. “They” can’t lock us all up… remember that. #UnityIsStrength

My question is: *Is the Govt reading this?*. They should, because the window on legislating bountyful #GasTaxes on the #SuperProfits currently enjoyed by the #GasIndustries is rapidly closing. If #AlboPM keeps going at his #SlugSpeed on this overwhelmingly supported #Tax there will be little to celebrate and Consolidated Revenue will not see its full potential (if Gas Peak hasn’t already gone past us).
The other important question is: *WTF is Labor even considering new #FossilFuel and especially #GasField exploration and #Exploitation licences* (in the NW)? What in blazes is he blind to? Is this a obvious case of #StateCapture by preferential and idiotic treatment? How can the *whole* of govt, the pollies, the public service, the NGOs all be going along with this #Circus ? No detractors to be seen in the halls of power? Could #AlboPM really be pulilng *ALL* the strings? Is everyone with one ounce of *decision-making* authority hell bent on maintaining the current economic *joke* ? If not, then why aren’t we seeing a backbench and crossbench revolt in Partliament. Why aren’t we seeing public information flooding the news medium? Why aren’t we seeing GOvt taken. To Court on their failure of *Duty of Care* ? Class actions filling the Courts’ agenda. The #Greens flooding us with outrage at the inaction we observe and which makes us angry?
I have a lot of questions… and so far, no answers! There has been no better time to see that doing the same thing and expecting better results is either a conspiracy (lead by the #RentierClass and its minions) or wholesale brainwashing of the power elites. WTF will it take for the electorate to demand much *Better* from our representataives?

Another worthwhile #Petition that we should all sign. Some think that petition acheive very little, and that may be true in isolation. But a war is never about a single battle and every scirmish advances the chance of winning the war.
In any case, what does signing a petition really cost you? Start your #rebellion with small acts that together grow to make a difference.

Class is inherently intergenerational, though not solely so (there are ‘nouveau riche’ as well). But a specific generation will never be conceived of as a ‘class’. So, I disagree with you here, because it is very much a class war between those in power and with wealth and those without either regardles of generational labels.#TaxTheRich #AusPol #WealthRedistributionNow #JoinYourUnionNow #InUnity #NoMoreBillionaires #Antifa #NeoLiberalism #Nepos #UnfetteredCapitalism

For a really depressing account of our govt failure to curb fossil fuel extraction & exports read on:
https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/gas-in-the-northern-territory/
If it’s too much for you. Write/email your elected members to tell then how sickening their support for more pollution is and that you’ll be voting Greens at the next election. If you can’t do that, at least be informed and read the article.
Not only are you paying for it all through your energy bills, you are also giving away some of your rightful share of public funds (in terms of social services) to grifters, profiteers and the filthy rich.

Falling service standards and profit taking priorities as long as profits are to be had, else the service tanks and privateers pull out without penalties.

Here is a headline (a report title to be precise) which would cause no surprise in the private sector. This sort of thing goes on all the times in our capitalist markets.

Is there anything else required to convince everyone that the issue and the problems with ANU’s alleged financial troubles is anything but financial trouble?
Squarely, this misapprehension is a direct result of #Mismanagement and #AccrualAccounting neither of which ought to be experienced by an education institution.
Time for the #Education #Minister Jason Clare to dismiss the council outright and implement the recommended fixes that were commended to him Including scrapping the #JobReadyGraduate #Morrison crap!
“If we believe the auditor, there is no crisis at the ANU. To be clear, as a government owned, not-for-profit entity, the ANU is under no pressure to maximise its profits so that it can maximise dividends paid to shareholders. On the contrary, when the ANU made a surplus of $89.9 million in 2024 it did so by spending less money on its students, staff and community than it received.” (Source: The Australian Institute)

Why are we so afraid of acknowledging that the emperor has no clothes. Why is the world (aside from other dictatorships) pussy-foot around the #MadKing of #Merika ? It’s not like GIs will war on the rest of the world at the #Tyrant’s behest now is it?
In case you think it might, let me remind you: the US didn’t win in South East Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos). It didn’t win in Afghanistan (just as Russia failed there too). And the only reason it has won (lossely applied) any recent war was due to a ‘coalition of the willing’.
Why should that ‘coalition’ have any fears at all? Failed democratic leadership is likely the problem and the answer to that problem is entirely within the capacity of revived democratic systems. Vote often, vote informed, vote if you wish to survive, vote for your kids, vote because you must.

“Australian musicians are among the team putting pressure on ANU Chancellor Julie Bishop and the ANU Council to abandon their plans to dismantle the School of Music. The team have called on Bishop to halt job cuts, continue its performance and composition majors, and maintain one-on-one music tuition in an open letter.
The open letter was written by the newly formed School of Music Advocacy Roundtable and signed by over 40 high-profile supporters.”
This is a bit of ‘Johnny-come-lately’, esp after the CSO had already made its position very clear on any thought of closing the #ANU #SchoolOfMusic by #JulieBishop ‘s Council Fiefdom. But any additional pressure is most welcomed. Keep it up guys, let’s pile it on.

TIL: the ANU is awash with #CASH:
“But here is the paradox: while education and staffing were cut, ANU’s financial wealth kept growing. By 2023, the university held over $2B in financial assets and recorded $3.4B in total net assets. It continued to run cash surpluses despite reporting accrual accounting deficits”AND that the financial crisis making the news and resulting in over 450 staff losses and plans to close some faculties are a direct result of the application of accrual accounting. This is an accounting practice that is necessary to run a business responsible to shareholders — but CANNOT be applied to education institutions which have a different raison d’etre and report to society (via parliaments).
#Managerialism and #NeoClassicEconomics responsible for the #FailedGovernance of ANU is made worse by the #Council’s use of ANU funds in speculative and #RealEstate investments partly funded by borrowings (Debt). These #NeoLiberal Council forays in #Productivism and #Capitalism are NOT core business to Universities. Not only is this the Absolutely Wrong Governance model to run a Uni, but it is currently grossly #Mismanaged and noone is taking responsibility for this, least of all #JulieBishop the #Chancellor of ANU.
Take a break and read the article, it is well written and explains much of what is going on. Furthermore, it provides the reasons why #Bishop should go and a sorely needed change to #Governance processes and responsibilities. If #JasonClaiMP can’t see this he’s a #FailedMinister

@abcfeeds
IF a business cannot operate with WFH employees, it means one of two things:
1) The work requires a human presence on the business’ premisses (in which case #Victoria #WFH legislation would not apply), or
2) The owner/manager of the business fears losing control of his employees.Either way, moving your business interstate to avoid the WFH legislation clearly demonstrates the owner/manager’s lack of capability to run a successful business. The State of Victoria is better off without those mediocre business owners and they would be doing workers in Victoria a favour if the moved out.

What this lawyer says about #youthCrime is not only ‘factual’ (he ought to know what he is talking about) but he is only telling us what every informed citizen about this highly politicised issue has known for decades (ney, centuries). Youth crime is a #SocialIssue best addressed by socially responsible policies which have nothing to do with #policing or the #Courts and criminal laws.
“"The vast majority of the children I deal with come with some kind of trauma, whether that is familial or family abuse, abuse while they have been in residential care, some kind of cognitive disorder or intellectual disability… developmental delays, some kind of disadvantage, trauma."
The Melbourne lawyer says while community understanding of family violence is growing, it doesn't always publicly appreciate the long-term impacts on children.” (Source: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-31/australian-state-and-territories-are-grappling-with-youth-crime/105355282?
If less of our #treasure was systematically transfered to the upper percentile of the moneyed population, there wouldn’t be so many ‘social’ drivers to youth delinquencyand crime.
#poverty and #illiteracy (or lack of education) are Political Choices made by our govt. We can change that. We can make a real difference to the socially disadvantaged portion of our society. But only if we wish to do so -- at the ballot box.
Sure, we’ve all got it tough. But why should we think we’re any better off just looking after our own interest if we leave so many people out of our decision making. We’re just perpetuating the thieving and making it worse over time. If we do nothing to stop the rorting, our great grandchildren will be youth crime statistics no matter how well we’ve done for ourselves. We’re all, basically, very selfish.

@RichardSiggs
Linking better #pay to #productivity only fuels the fallacy that productivity increases come from workers working harder. This is a non-sequitur.Higher wages are required to maintain and improve livelyhood in society, yes. Business owners wishing to improve productivity must reinvest a portion of their profits to modernise production tooling and methods as well as expending funds into ‘research’ for such improvements.
Let’s not give the #grifting system ammunition to squeeze yet more ‘production’ out of workers using old and ineficient #tools and #processes.
Linking higher #wages to productivity is just as damaging as linking so-called wage #spirals to #inflation.#Economics101 - don’t fall for #neoliberal economic scams

Social media should be swamped with more of this:
“ABC staff work tirelessly to build and maintain the ABC’s independence and integrity. It is the board’s legal duty to protect that independence and integrity. But time and again we see ABC chairs and managing directors do the opposite.”

https://www.meaa.org/mediaroom/abc-staff-disgusted-by-handling-of-lattouf-case/Social Media should be swamped by similar statements from ABC employees (anonymously of course) and fair-dinkum journos ought to expose more… we ought to get back our ABC given we cannot fight the dis-misinformation crud our mainstream media outlets are dishing out.

"This isn’t a government; it’s a corporate concierge service."
That is #BernardKeane 's conclusion after enumerating the failures of the Minns govt in #NSW and crucifying the transport Minister Jo Haylen for her flippant disregard of public funds expenditure on her 'boozy trip' to Newcastle.
Apparently #Haylen is a a full member of the royal family of politician lifers. She never had another job that was not related to politics inside the #Labor party. Hence, completely out of touch.
And one wonders how it is that Labor (State and Federal) have lost touch with its foundational values. We are left to wonder why 'our Labor' is no longer concerned with our plight and why it is that there is so much cozying up to the big end of town.
Signaling our common disappointment Keane writes: "NSW Labor, in its three terms in opposition after the spectacular scandals, blatant corruption and in-fighting of its post-Carr years in government, learnt nothing about the importance of integrity in public office and its role in good government. It learnt only how to be electable again. It’s still a party that treats public resources as a private treasure chest, that gleefully politicises the public service, that sees only a seamless union of the private interests of MPs, the interests of NSW Labor and its union backers and the extended Labor family, and the public sector."
Bugger... where does that leave me at the next State election? What kind of choice am I really going to be given when all I want is #tranparency, #accountability and real #representation?

I read:
'Democracy is a system in which parties lose elections.' So they should.
By #tomtanuki | 2 November 2024 published on #independentaustralia (dot)net, and I got fired up. Not so much by this particular article, but too many similar pieces read over the past year. I needed to rant for a while…The thing about ‘internationalism’ is there are too many goddamn issues to care about. Getting over one’s obsession with whatever dreadful event is happening around the globe is dead easy since so many other inhumane actions can take it’s place. In the end, we are led by the nose by what we are told (from various outlets) and we rage against the loudest grievance. While I deplore the loss of life in the Middle East I will not be monopolised in this way. I fear as much as a third of the global population is suffering horrendous aggression and my heart goes out to them all, not selectively but to them all equally.
I funnel my ‘internationalist’ rage through the ballot box, conversations with friends and not-so-friends not by advocating for a particular national or ethnic community, but for all living things based on the turn of the conversation.
You are free, of course, to rage and fight on a very limited aspect of the human condition - that is your right. I just think that the scope is too narrow and tends to create zealots rather than change agents. Keepingour attent focused on the ‘news’ peddled by the msm, aided by social media, is playing into the hands of those responsible for aggressions perpetrated elsewhere, out of the limelight. The old saying: charity begins at home, is worth thinking about is its broader context. And when it comes to activism, combined with exemplar behaviour, we can ‘lead by example’ and change the world around us.
I’ll get off my soapbox now.

Now? All of a sudden? How is that not an ‘upper management failure’? I’ll bet that if you follow the money, you’ll get to some high level bean counting or an investment gone wrong issue. But of course (as in Parliament and the banking system) it’s always the fault of someone else down the line of responsibility or the academic staff suffers the consequences as always. #InUnity #ANUFinancialFiasco #ANUTertiary Institutions should get back to core business (not business) and Govt ought to be progressive and fund them adequately in the first instance.

Just because I rant against 'gatekeepers' and the oligarchy, I happen to have tooted (in a round about way) about the recording industry. This has led me to learn about mirlo.space. A musician lead community that sounds like it's doing all the right things by the artist.
"Our mission
The music industry does not work for musicians or listeners and needs a radical re-imagination.
Mirlo is a community of musicians, listeners, and coders who are daring to do just that: taking lessons learned in working in the solidarity economy and applying them to our process and product.
We are building an online audio distribution (think Bandcamp) and patronage (think Patreon) platform that aims to be radical, accessible, open source (free & libre), modular, and standards based.
