The spread of gambling and the social harm from it is a serious concern for our country.

To help bring a fair pay upgrade to the covid class of 2020.

Australia's geography means our communities - regional and urban - depend on reliable, well-functioning airlines. Our citizens' ability to travel between cities and regional towns must not be dependent on market conditions or the whim of airline owners. If the Federal Government owned a stake in Rex - and appointed a "Safe and Secure Skies" Commission as an independent regulator as the Transport Workers Union have long called for - airline workers and the flying public would have a meaningful say in the decisions that impact our travel and our lives.  Regional communities rely on Rex. In many cases it is the only airline that goes to a range of small country towns. The Federal Government needs to consider buying an equity stake or outright purchasing the airline to ensure our regional communities aren't left behind without connections to major cities and other regional communities. Victorian, SA, NSW and Queensland Premiers have already voiced their support for Federal Government intervention to ensure Rex continues to operate. The Government needs to act now to save the airline and their hundreds of workers facing redundancy!

50 cent fares on Queensland’s public transport, introduced by the Miles Labor Government, provides much-needed temporary relief for many Queenslanders managing the rising cost of living – now it’s time to make 50 cent fares permanent! Public transport is an integral part of any modern city. Getting cars off the road reduces traffic, increases productivity, and minimises climate impact. Cheaper transport allows people to access training, jobs and medical treatment. It also helps connect socially isolated people with their loved ones and attracts tourism, bringing money into Queensland. Sign the petition now calling on parties to keep 50 cent fares indefinitely to keep our cities moving! Authorised by J. King, Queensland Council of Unions, 16 Peel St South Brisbane QLD 4101

Many of us have been working at Pernod Ricard for over 10, 20, even 30 years. Over the last year, we have felt the brunt of the cost-of-living crisis. We are falling behind other worksites that are doing the same job. The company doesn’t value the work that we do. We are worrying about whether or not we can afford to pay our mortgages and rent.  We took such a small wage increase during COVID, while the industry was booming. Now CPI has gone up almost 16% and our wages have only gone up a mere 7%! So while our wages have been going backwards, Pernod Ricard has made a staggering global profit of $5.6 billion in 2023, and the global CEO himself pocketed $3.7 million in 2022. They are a global company who made a huge profit last year. All we want is for the company to look after us and give us secure jobs for the future. This short-term, low wage deal from Pernod Ricard during this cost-of-living crisis isn’t going to cut it. We are calling on all members of the public and our regional communities to support our action for a fair wage increase and secure jobs.

Journalists at Nine Publishing (The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Australian Financial Review, Brisbane Times and WAtoday) are being asked to do more for less. They are taking a stand for newsrooms that reflect the diversity of the communities they are reporting for, for ethical and transparent use of Artificial Intelligence, for a fair deal for freelance contributors, and for better wages. As members of the public, we must support workers taking action for better pay and conditions, but also in the face of the rapidly changing landscape for our right to factual journalism.

Local governments across Australia are facing a severe funding crisis. This threatens the quality of local services and the livelihoods of over 200,000 local government workers.  Local government matters—more funding means better services and jobs. To continue delivering their important work, local governments need to be properly resourced. It’s crucial for the health of our communities and the well-being of our local government workforce.  It's time to support our local governments to build stronger, more resilient communities. The workers our communities rely on deserve good, secure jobs.  Take action now! Sign our petition to urge the Government to boost funding to local government. Together we can secure stronger communities for all Australians by ensuring our local services are properly funded and the critical workforce is properly paid and supported.  Join us in championing a fair funding model for local governments. Your signature can drive change and help sustain the vital services that keep our communities thriving. Sign the petition today! 

UTS staff and students are urged to sign this petition to uphold our commitment to social justice and human rights. The International Court of Justice's recent finding highlights Israel's illegal practices in the occupied Palestinian territory. As a leading institution dedicated to ethical principles, UTS must take a stand against these violations. By signing this petition, you join a collective call for the University to reassess its relationships with entities connected to Israel, condemn the illegal occupation, and support the rights of the Palestinian people. Your signature is a powerful statement of solidarity and a call for UTS to lead by example in advocating for justice and upholding of international law.

We’re urgently calling on our Arts and Entertainment industry to make shows safe and accessible for everyone.  Getting infected with Covid can have dire and incurable consequences for anyone, but especially for the most vulnerable in our communities.  As an industry whose work predominantly occurs indoors and in crowded spaces, accessing Arts and Entertainment is currently a high risk activity.  This has seen many people decrease the amount of shows they attend or stop attending shows altogether. Alongside this, the constant circulation of Covid and other respiratory viruses has seen a rise in audiences buying tickets last minute because they’re not sure if they’ll be well enough to attend on the day.  It doesn’t have to be this way.  Having a good night out at a show shouldn’t have to happen at the risk of our health and, for many, our lives.  Keeping the industry open shouldn’t have to happen at the risk of the industry’s sustainability and security.  We have the tools to provide communities with safe and accessible Arts and Entertainment.  These tools include, but are not limited to: • Effective air filtration at venues • Mask mandatory performances • Ticket exchange flexibility where appropriate • Better communication regarding keeping each other safe and; • Continuing commitment to online programming We ask that producers and venues meet with us to discuss how we can use these tools and others to ensure the industry is accessible and safe for everyone so that it can flourish in a secure and sustainable way.

Group Operations staff deserve to be comfortable at work. We are subject to fluctuating temperatures and often marshal aircraft in cold, damp, and rainy conditions. Providing cardigans will ensure we can remain warm and add a level of protection against dampness and rain. Uniforms are not just a fashion statement; cardigans are a matter of common sense for our health and safety. We call on Jetstar to immediately provide cardigans to all ground operations staff.

We're Kim and Gemma.  We worked at BP One Stop throughout 2021 and 2022. During our employment we had over $30,000 in wages and superannuation stolen by our employer. We're demanding justice and calling for BP One Stop to pay its workers fairly and repay our stolen wages! But there's another problem. Darren Noseda owns and runs the Noseda Retail Trust. Noseda Retail Trust is the registered owner of BP One Stop in Portland. However, through a complex corporate structure, others pay and employ staff at his business.  We're calling on Darren and Noseda Retail Trust to employ their workers directly, so other workers like us can ensure they're paid fairly!
