After Christchurch: Standing up to racism (Advocate 26 01)

After the horrific Christchurch mosque shootings, there have been heartening displays of solidarity with Muslim communities. Four thousand people, Muslims and non-Muslims, came together at the Stand Together Against Racism rally in Melbourne the day after the tragedy to say that there is no place for racist hate in our society.

2019-20 Federal Budget

What can we expect in this year’s Budget? The NTEU is not anticipating that the government will use the unexpected improvement in the Budget bottom line, largely as result of unexpected improvements revenue as a result of better than expected commodity (iron ore and coal) prices, to reverse the funding freeze and restore demand driven funding and increase public inevestment in higher education, but are happy to be proven wrong.
