bell jar posted:recoome swinging for the fences with the "unions are poo poo at campaigning politically" take not what i was really going for but (and this is from my own personal experience as a union member) it was definitely cool when we were being underpaid and hosed around as casual employees at a university and the NTEU literally went "lol, you're on your own kiddo" and made a great song and dance about how a stack of permanent members got a super increase at the expense of throwing casuals under the bus. Amazingly all the NTEU members in my faculty either were made redundant, got out of academia or have since moved overseas so i guess it was definitely worth it. As is public knowledge, universities are definitely great places to work right now, especially regarding pay and job security!

The nteu sounds hosed. Didn't they spend all their time looking after tenured and permanent employees and tell all the casuals to piss off or something on another occasion too? Who could have seen this being the outcome?

Who could have seen this being the outcome? Yeah, and it was a great play by university management too because the pool of permanent and tenured staff was, in real terms, diminishing so you ended up getting the NTEU on board with eroding workers rights until it was way too late and the NTEU nationally couldn't pivot fast enough, and it never real fed down into the local branch level by the time I left. I really hope that one day we have really strong unions again, you do see (as an outsider) some good advocacy coming from some of the nurses, teachers, and transport unions but I think we've all suffered from the sustained union-busting from government at different levels.

Asking the thread in general: does anyone know which is the better union option for nurses - HACSU or ANMF? Or if there's a third option...

I'll believe there's proper advocacy for casuals when I see it.

Voter who interrupted Anthony Albanese's press conference demands apology after ‘deeply offensive’ comments A voter who interrupted one of Opposition leader Anthony Albanese’s press conferences in Perth last week has demanded the Labor leader apologise for his comments following the incident. Speaking exclusively to Sky News Australia’s The Kenny Report host Chris Kenny, Mr Bernard revealed he had no connection to the truck which was organised by the political lobby group Advance Australia. “I had no connection with Advance Australia, I didn’t know the truck, I didn’t know the truck driver, just zero connection,” he said. Mr Bernard claimed he was not tied to any political party and has voted for both major parties as much as each other adding that the comments from the would-be prime minister called for an apology. “It was deeply offensive to me, just deeply offensive and subsequently I found it really disturbing that a man who presents himself as a leader for Australia when something even slightly tough comes up just makes up a story and throws the people under the bus,” he said.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:It's chattering classes level poo poo / media desperately trying to convince itself it's relevant that barely anyone is listening to anymore. Albo's "gaffe" aint changing anyone's minds. No, the singular "gaffe" itself might not change anything in particular. But the way that said gaffe allowed an easy way to change the narrative, (see the Waleed Aly "speaks of incompetence" thing), to a way that suits Morrisson and his "Don't trust Labor" spin might. Also one gaffe generally is nothing, but then said gaffe gets turned into a battering ram by constant repetition and the hammering of a favoured narrative as said in the paragraph before. So yeah, the Libs are awful and Morrisson is an incompetent oval office, but I fear this could snowball into something very ugly. Of course given how bad/stupid ScoMo is, he may well say/do something stupid that will get the press's eye. Or given the goldfish memory of the Press/public it could blow over.

The good news is Labor is throwing the poors and other.minorities under the bus to save face, so there's still hope for the middle class politically disconnected and bankrupt to throw a few angry with the government votes their way. Really shits me when I vote greens and preference Labor as they drift further away from my preferred policies, but the media is to blame. The end of May cannot come fast enough

It would be nice to be able to exhaust House of Reps preferences as well as in the Senate if for whatever reason you didn't want to preference one or more parties at all.

Change the Rules was a poo poo campaign because it's target audience were union members or prospective union members, none of who needed convincing to preference Labor. This time around they're kinda hosed because Labor have no policies to get behind, so it's scomo in a Hawaiian shirt. If Labor weren't complete cowards they might have something else to work with idk. It probably still wouldn't matter because liberal and swing voters probably don't follow AustralianUnions on twitter.

industrial relations is one area where labor are only mediocre instead of total poo poo and at least have vague commitments (real wages growth, full employment, stopping wage theft, reversing casualisation of the work force) that they haven't totally abandoned yet so there is at least something for the unions to campaign on there https://twitter.com/cameronwilson/status/1514071904369659904 also lol

It changes the narrative because the people presenting the narrative are screaming "it changes the narrative". It's a stupid mistake and a bad look to be sure but speaks nothing about his ability to govern and speaks a lot about media in this country that it was more than a 30 second clip and a one day story. The travelling press pack are the laziest loving bunch of partisan hacks and overpaid stenographers and that's just the way the parties like it. Members of the press manufacturing "gotcha moments" are inserting themselves into the story and it shouldn't be called journalism.
