Negotiations between Patrick Terminals and the Maritime Union will resume today after eight hours of talks failed to resolve a pay dispute at Port Botany.

The company was understood to be considering going ahead with a Fair Work Commission application – which was backed by the government – to terminate the industrial action, which caused delays and disruptions to

important shipments. The MUA offered a peace deal to end the standoff, which included putting off the wharf workers' demands for 12 months, extending the current enterprise agreement and a 2.5 per cent pay rise.

Albanese calling for funding increases to help Australia out of the 'Morrison recession' | Sky News AustraliaAnthony Albanese will today use a speech at the McKell Institute to call for major funding increases across infrastructure, skills, social housing, manufacturing and renewable energy to help bring Australia out of 'the Morrison recession'.\n\nThe address will lay the foundations for the Labor leader's budget reply next Thursday which is expected to contain specific policy promises.\n\nThe Opposition Leader will criticise the Morrison government's handling of the post-pandemic recovery pointing out 'nearly a million Australians are unemployed' and '400,000 more will join them by Christmas'.\n\n AlboMP McKellInstitute Let’s build a couple of nuke power stations! Along with fuel rod and enrichment facilities! Thousands of jobs for the short, medium and long term, supply of synchronous baseload to the grid, and we can export fuel,to other nations! AlboMP McKellInstitute What a pathetic angle... Blaming Morrison for the handouts and policies that Albo supported himself only a couple of months ago. But now he wants to PRETEND as if it was ALL THE LIBS... HAHAHAHA. AlboMP McKellInstitute ALL Govts cause recessions. And the recessions are getting worse because they interfere in economy. No better example than now. We have become a service based economy that in order to grow relies more & more on a Fractional banking system. And now they are Lowering lending rules
