Journalists @TheAge @SMH Financial Review @BrisbaneTimes @WAToday today start protected industrial action. 9 publishing posted 53% earnings jump last wk. We want better guaranteed career progression for young journos, freelance minimums, payrise closer to inflation #FairShareNine

Current pay offer from Nine management is a significant real wage cut (and comes after years of cost cutting and wage suppression). Yet the company is making record profits. What gives ?

If you think journalism matters, support us getting fair wages and conditions.

Nine Publishing reported an earnings jump of 53% last week. We want better career progression for younger journos, freelance minimums, and a pay rise closer to inflation.

Pls retweet #FairShareNine

Nine’s publishing business is thriving, no small thanks to the dedication of journalists who accepted a 0% pay rise when things looked uncertain in 2020 and just want our fair share of the company’s bumper 53% rise in earnings now. #FairShareNine

Today seems like a good day to announce I’m leaving The Age. While my decision is multifaceted, the reasons for our industrial action are in part behind it. We want better guaranteed career progression for young journos, freelance mins, payrise closer to inflation #FairShareNine

Developers treat critical habitats ‘like a magic pudding’ under government scheme smh.com.au/environment/co…

Review finds offsets scheme fails to protect NSW environment. These #audit reports at federal and state levels are so important. theguardian.com/environment/20…

The current offset model does little to slow biodiversity loss.

“offsetting schemes reduced nature to a “bunch of financial formulas” that did not capture the true value of unique and rapidly disappearing bushland.”

Putting money in a trust to “offset” habitat clearing = loss

This is a damning fail - the Auditor General has today released a report on the Effectiveness of the NSW Coalition Government's Offsets Scheme. It's shocking. The Government has fundamentally failed to design or implement an effective scheme for biodiversity. #extinction
