Strike over latest pay offer from management timed to make it difficult to cover Reserve Bank’s scheduled board meeting and cash rate announcement

CPSU’s ABC section secretary, Sinddy Ealy, said the latest offer from ABC management left workers worse off in year one than the offer that was voted down late last year.

“Union members in the ABC are disappointed in their employer’s attitude towards bargaining and are continuing to prepare for industrial action,” Ealy said.“The ABC’s initial proposal was for a three-year agreement expiring in October 2025, with a one-off payment of $750 and pay increases of 3.5%, 3% and 2.5%,” a spokesperson said.

ABC’s coverage of World Pride and Mardi Gras was ‘fawning, indulgent and all pervasive’Sky News host Chris Kenny says the ABC’s coverage of World Price and the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras was “fawning, indulgent and all-pervasive”. “It even featured key members of the ABC's news team, seemingly blurring the lines ... between coverage, campaigning and reporting,” Mr Kenny said. “Some viewers have pointed out that this indulgence is far broader than the weekend's events. “Someone's put a big effort in here at the ABC programming for some reason, and perhaps the ABC ought to just, you know, tell us what it's up to with our money.” Mr Kenny said the national broadcaster tends “not to bother” because it’s “their ABC, and they do as they please”. Is anyone surprised? ABC’s coverage of World Pri[d]e and the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras was “fawning, indulgent and all-pervasive”. Chris Kenny watching the Mardi gras on ABC

US Federal Reserve looking at inflation ‘three times’ higher than initial targetsThe Australian's Washington Correspondent Adam Creighton says the US Federal Reserve is looking at inflation “three times” more than what their target is. “The US Federal Reserve is looking here at inflation of 6.4 per cent – more than three times what their target is,” Mr Creighton told Sky News host Sharri Markson. “If the rate of inflation does not keep falling, then they’re probably going to keep lifting and at some point that almost has to cause a recession.” The last 25 basis point rise was a big mistake. Next time it will be a 50 basis point rise, and jawboning more to come.

Why Australia is legalising medicinal psychedelics - ABC RadioFifty years ago, psychedelic drugs were successfully used to treat mental illness; that is, until politicians stepped in and banned them. But soon, Australia will lead the world in legalising the use of drugs like MDMA and psilocybin, which is found in magic mushrooms, to treat patients suffering depression and PTSD. Today, a leading researcher on the incredible success of the drugs in trials, and how they work. Featured: Dr David Nutt, professor of neuropsychopharmacology, Imperial College London Because it’s a pathway to recreational psychedelics. My condition is lack of endorphins. The medical staff agreed that if MDMA were legal they would give me a small dose in the morning. I dont like the idea really. I think CBD would be the go. But in australia its very difficult to get. Little ironic given certain natural opiates have proven to be even more effective for sufferers of PTSD and especially CDPTSD.
