If you go into a Woolworths and the shelves aren’t stacked, know that it’s because the warehouse workers of this price gouging corporation - that made $1.7 billion in profit last year - simply want their fair share and a safe workplace.

Blistering Rock N Roll, goofy singalongs and most importantly, real heart, I can’t think of another album as kind as this. There’s no other word for it. Its tender moments go beyond songs to relate to, and into direct messages to the listener that reach out and say “I understand”
Hey at @woolworths, how’s that strike going? Shelves are looking pretty bare. @UnitedWorkersOz #ausunions
Hi folks, I’ll be shutting this account down in the next few days. If you want to continue following me, I’ll be on Bluesky here: bsky.app/profile/read-about-…

Joe Aston, who proudly boasted of scabbing in his workmates during the 2017 strike, holds his book launch at a venue owned by a wage thief that is also under investigation for a toxic culture of sexual harassment. Says it all. theage.com.au/national/two-b…

Israel invades Lebanon and sets its sights on bombing Iran out of existence next but the Australian media is more concerned that a couple of people took flags to a rally.
‘Protest capital of Australia’ is a title any Premier should embrace as a sign of a healthy democracy.
I’d oppose the release of such an awful album cover too. Looks like it was thrown together in five minutes by a year 11 student using Canva for the first time. @Johnny_Marr morrisseycentral.com/message…
So we need to ask were the leaks from police about “25,000” protesters planning to disrupt the Land Forces expo intended to create a permissive structure for the kind of police violence we saw yesterday? If so, the strategy of whipping up false hysteria worked.
So was that extra $15 million approved by Pallas yesterday really to pay for cops at the protest, or is it being set aside for the inevitable compensation payments that will need to be made after today’s police brutality?
