Flailing Higher Ed Bill off to two Senate inquiries

By Jeannie Rea (NTEU National Office). Last week the House of Reps debate on the Higher Education and Research Reform Bill 2014 (Mark 11) stopped and started with strong speeches from the opposition senators. Liberal and National MPs sounded increasingly desperate as they tried to find any measure off credibility in their government’s plans to deregulate fees beyond avoiding government responsibility to fund public higher education, while still extending CSP subsidies to private providers.

Government Seeks to Wind Back Gender Equity Reporting, despite new high in Gender Pay Gap

By Terri Macdonald (NTEU National Office). Despite new figures showing that the gender pay gap has blown out to 18.8 per cent, the Federal Government is seeking to water down gender equity reporting for employers.
The latest data on average weekly earnings from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), released 25th February, shows that Australian men now earn $298.10 more than Australian women each week.
Even worse, the increase is across all 8 occupation groups collated by the ABS.

Given the continued rise in gender pay gap, the proposal by the Government to reduce the reporting requirements to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (Agency) for businesses with 100 or more employees is deeply concerning.
The Government's decision is the outcome of a flawed public consultation process, where a review into the Reporting requirments placed greater emphasis on calls by employer groups and the business lobby to reduce or even abandon reporting on gender equity in the workplace.
Below is NTEU's briefing memo on the proposed changes, as well as a review of the Report of the Workplace Gender Equality public consultations.
Discussion Paper : Government's proposed changes to WGEA reporting. More...

Deregulation of university fees will saddle our children with debt and deficit

By Courtney Sloane (NTEU National Office). If the Prime Minister is serious about not wanting to “saddle our children and grandchildren with debt and deficit,” as he said at the National Press Club yesterday, then he has no option but to dump his plans to deregulate university fees, which would see many students paying $100,000 for a degree.
“Many students will accumulate debts of $100,000 or more if the government proceeds with its plans to deregulate university fees, and many others will give up hope of ever affording a university education,” National President of NTEU, Jeannie Rea said today. More...
