Last Friday, under the cover of Christmas, Eric Abetz launched a stealth attack on Australian workers by announcing a full scale inquiry into our rights at work. This inquiry, which will begin in the new year, is the next step in his plan to cut penalty rates, reintroduce widespread individual contracts, reduce wages and conditions, and make it harder to have a voice at work. That’s his Christmas present to us. But as we showed in 2014, by joining together, and fighting for what we believe in, we can protect the living standards of Australian workers and their families.

The Sydney harbour bridge is not scrapped & re-built & cars are the same, however alot of foolish & un-enviromental people do scrap their cars & buy new ones as opposed to treating their cars & repairing them as they should do. Their are mechanics, auto electricians & panel beaters & their are tools & equipment which can be had at auto shops like auto one, repco & supercheap auto. Save the worlds energy resources & treat & repair your car.

Ahead of their AGM, ANZ weren't banking on this

Yesterday 200 villagers from Kampong Speu protested outside ANZ's Cambodian headquarters in Phnom Penh.

They were demanding that the ANZ use the estimated $5 million in profits it made from funding Phnom Penh Sugar to make amends to affected communities. Phnom Penh Sugar is the company at the heart of grabbing their land and leaving them in dire poverty.
