Labor has just blown any enviro credentials they may've had by approving final step in the biggest new fossil fuel project in the Southern Hemisphere. A betrayal & disastrous for the future of our 🌎. We can't protect our planet while we are digging and burning new fossil fuels.

A genuine debate about how to boost Australia’s productivity should bring in a wide range of groups to talk about a wide range of options, but, alas, that’s not what happened in Canberra last week.

This is very silly from Zoe Daniel. What is "productivity growth" in the care sector exactly and how do we measure it (or for that matter services generally)? How should, for example, the MSO increase productivity? Play the Mozart faster? Put on the Mahler without the woodwind section?
