Doctors (inc my sister) are on strike across NSW, and you might wonder why — aren’t doctors paid heaps?
Junior doctors in NSW earn 1/3 less for the same job than in other states. They work 12hr shifts days in a row.
Junior doctors deserve better pay & conditions so they can be better physicians.

For the first time in NSW history, senior and junior doctors are taking industrial action together, 8-10 April.
We have spent years trying to address the staffing crisis in our public hospitals.
This is our last resort.

I’m not gonna link the article because it doesn’t need clicks, but Mike Pezzullo continues in his quest to find rock bottom Aussie racism…
If anyone’s stupid enough to continue working with him, you can’t say you didn’t know he’s a racist, and you’re tainted by association (Looking at you AIIA)!

Ben Wyatt is currently advocating, along with some Canberra big-noters, for an economic empowerment/green economy framework that First Nations in Aotearoa, Canada & the United States *ONLY* achieved *BECAUSE* of Indigenous property RIGHTS and constitutional recognition.

Peter Jennings is the very problem with ASPI. The Varghese review called out his behaviour & management many times. And this doesn’t even touch his history of what I would argue are racially problematic views. That we should listen to him now is farcical.
