ANF imposes real wage cut in Victoria

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 17/03/2012 - 10:18pm

Reprinted from the WSWS
By Patrick O’Connor 17 March 2012 The Australian Nursing Federation (ANF) in Victoria has announced a sell-out deal with the state Liberal government for a new enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA) covering public hospital nurses and midwives. The agreement, quickly rammed through a mass meeting of nurses yesterday, involves a substantial real wage cut and a significant “flexibility” concession that erodes existing mandatory nurse-to-patient staffing ratios.

Victorian Duck Shooter Abuse - Coalition Against Duck Shooting

Submitted by Flowerpower on Sat, 17/03/2012 - 9:18pm

Coalition Against Duck Shooting (CADS) rescuers today documented being shot at and physically abused by duck shooters on the wetlands of Lake Buloke, located near the central Victorian town of Donald.

Rescuers were targeted on the wetlands by angry and abusive duck shooters whilst attempting to protect and rescue Australian native waterbirds.

After the tragic incident last year where a female duck rescuer was shot in the face, the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) has failed to ensure firearms safety on the wetlands.

RAC condemns Rob Oakeshott’s push for offshore processing of asylum seekers

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 15/03/2012 - 9:19pm

RAC Press Release 15th March 2012 Independent MP Rob Oakeshott is attempting to get legislation through parliament that will allow asylum seekers to be sent to third countries for processing. Oakeshott has called on both major parties to support his bill.

The Refugee Action Collective has condemned Oakeshott’s bill as being anti-humanitarian and an attempt to circumvent the High Court ruling in 2011 that ruled the Malaysian refugee swap deal as illegal.
