My dream was to work @abcnews & I'm proud to have done for 17 yrs. But I've been stuck at pay/band ceilings + underpaid & fought to have that fixed + worked shift hrs + travelled away from family + $$ for professional counselling. Please treat us better #DontDiscountABC @withMEAA

As someone who writes a fair bit about gender eqaulity and equal pay, I keep hope that one day the pay gap won't exist. The headlines will read: "Gender pay gap eradicated". I’m standing @withmeaa to win a fair deal. #DontDiscountABC

I’ve been fighting for years to be paid at the level I’m working at. I’m now on a Band 4 contract and paid more. That will end soon. My pay will drop but the duties I perform and the level I work at will remain the same. We need genuine progression. #DontdiscountABC @withMEAA – at Hobart, Tasmania

Floods. Fires. Covid. I’ve worked hundreds of hours of unpaid overtime to deliver the emergency coverage Australians deserve. Our ABC matters. Without sustainable careers, it can’t provide this essential service. @withMEAA #DontDiscountABC

I love my job at the ABC and living in regional Qld, where I want to stay and raise my kids. But without sustainable careers, ABC can’t provide the essential service our regional communities deserve. @withMEAA #DontDiscountABC 1/3

Jon insecurity is a huge issue @abcnews, particularly for women who have children and want to advance their career. My decision to have two children has held me back and resulted in job insecurity. I am proud to work for the ABC but we can do better. #DontDiscountABC @withMEAA

I've been at the ABC 15 years. For the first 5 or 6 of those I was stuck barely above my cadet wage. @IanVerrender came in from outside & was shocked at how poorly some of us were paid. You shouldn't have to rely on a great manager to get fair pay. #DontDiscountABC @withMEAA 1/2

Working for the #ABC is a privilege. But @abcnews is losing early & mid-career journalists who just can’t make the financial math work. They’re stuck on low pay grades and despite stellar performance, they can’t move up. Time to fix this. #DontDiscountABC @withMEAA

#BREAKING The government has settled its planned changes to the superannuation system. From 2025-26, the concessional tax rate applied to future earnings for super balances above $3 million will be 30 per cent - up from 15 per cent. @abcnews

Consumer confidence for tenants is gapping well below home owners'. Likely driven by affordability concerns. Equity issues have economic outcomes #aushousing

In a shock decision, the David versus Goliath trademark battle between the Sydney Ugg bootmaker Eddie Oygur’s small family company and the multinational footwear giant Deckers has been dealt a cruel blow with the US Supreme Court rejecting a petition to hear the landmark case.

In Australia, 3% wage growth used to be a formality but we haven't come close since early 2013. Will an unemployment rate in the low 4's - a distinct possibility early next year - be enough to get us above that 3% threshold? @IndeedAU

"I made the mistake of trusting my employer because the superannuation was on my pay slip." Unpaid super estimated at $5 billion a year, affecting nearly 3 million employees abc.net.au/news/2021-10-28/s… A small loss now for young workers adds up to big $$$ by retirement. @NassimKhadem

Woolworths CEO joined me on Money News to talk about the mandatory jab policy for 170,000 employees Q:"If a worker refuses to get the vaccine will they be sacked?" Banducci: "If they do not have a legitimate exemption, then their employment will be terminated" @3AW693 @2GB873
