Sole parents & mutual obligation
The Federal government's welfare reform agenda has been made clearer in
recent weeks and represents a dramatic extension of mutual obligation
policies currently in place, say welfare rights advocates. Taking their cue
from countries like the USA, the government has also proposed the
introduction of mutual obligation criteria for sole parents. Jenny Blakey
from the Welfare Rights Units discusses the issue with 3CR's Giselle Hannah.
Hiroshima Day - August 6
Sunday August 6 is Hiroshima Day & unions/workers are being encouraged to
join with environment and community activists to protest at the impact of
the nuclear industry on the Australian community, the environment,
indigenous land rights & sustainable industry development. As Dave Sweeney
[Australian Conservation Foundation] points out, the impact of the nuclear
industry on workers health & safety & the syphoning of government funding
away from sustainable industry development & jobs are just some of the
consequences of this dangerous industry which are of concern to Australian
workers.
Tassie workers take ALP Conference to task
As the issue of 'free' vs 'fair' trade was debated on the floor of the ALP
National conference in Hobart today, Tasmanian manufacturing workers voiced
their own message to the Labour Party from outside the Wrest Point Casino
where the conference was being held. Their message: vote no to the ALP
draft 'free trade' policy being put to the vote by delegates inside. [The
vote against the policy was subsequently lost by a narrow margin.] Philip
Baker, Secretary of the AMWU Tas. branch, spoke to the Stick Together Show
from the rally.
