Think about this:

The cold maliciousness of Lehrmann (described by Justice Lee as a calculating liar). The entitlement of Lehrmann. The wickedness.

BL knew what he'd done. He raped her.

And he chose to drag her back through the courts anyway to force her through it all again.

All those in the media who boosted #Lehrmann 's account -- and they know who they are -- must be dying of shame. Justice Lee has absolutely shredded his character and his evidence, caling it 'risible', 'an elaborate fancy' and 'a litany of lies'.

Keeping worker wage growth at inflation or less denies them the benefit of productivity improvement, which is a disincentive to productivity improvement. It also discourages investment that enables better productivity because holding wages down is easier!

Collective bargaining is how workers get wage increases beyond the minimum and better workplaces. It collapsed under 10 years of the Coalition. Here’s what has happened since the Labor Govt’s IR laws

'ACCI and other employer groups never want minimum or award wages to rise by more than inflation and it is about time they were honest and admit they are arguing for the poorest workers in Australia to not just stay poor but become poorer.' Greg Jericho

Multiemployer bargaining is delivering productivity outcomes & quality discussions as companies do not need to compete on wages. This is the experience elsewhere in the world where the focus of bargaining is on skills, productivity & tech change

Air-conditioning manufacturers and The AMWU strike the first private sector multi-­employer agreement delivering 26% in pay rises over 4 years, guaranteed casual conversion after 3 months, and a joint commitment to higher skills & increased productivity. theaustralian.com.au/nation/first-m…

These champions stood up with me to argue why they and 2.9 million award & minimum wage workers need a 5% pay rise. Cleaners, childcare, fast food and community workers.

ENTERTAINED ‼️

Dear RBA,
Stop nailing us.

Sincerely
Everyone

We’ve created more new jobs than any first term government on record.

Our plan means more people in work, earning more and keeping more of what they earn.

All measures need to be taken to prevent genocide as made clear by the ICJ
