25.01.2022 TOUGHER INDUSTRIAL MANSLAUGHTER LAWS REQUIRED TO PROTECT WORKERS In the NSW Parliament on Tuesday, Labor has given notice it will reintroduce legislation to create a new industrial manslaughter offence with higher penalties including jail time, as part of major reforms to the State’s workplace safety laws. Labor Leader in the Legislative Council and Shadow Minister for Industrial Relations, Adam Searle MLC, said rogue companies must be held accountable for workplace deaths.... One death is one too many, and every worker should come home safely. It is unacceptable that NSW has the highest number of workplace fatalities in Australia, Mr Searle said. It is clear the current laws are failing and a major overhaul of safety standards is needed, as well as increased enforcement of those standards. The tragic death of Christopher Cassiniti illustrates the need for this new law. Christopher Cassaniti was crushed to death in a workplace accident in Sydney’s north-west in April 2019. The judge hearing the case in December 2020 said the offence was of the ‘utmost severity’, and given the circumstances ‘almost certain to occur’. He added that the steps to avoid the risk were ‘simple and inexpensive’. NSW Labor had put forward changes to the State’s workplace safety laws in December 2019 following a spate of workplace fatalities, but the proposal was defeated in a close 19-18 vote in the Legislative Council in June 2020.
18.01.2022 It makes absolutely no sense for this Government to sack an additional 700 TAFE staff in the middle of a recession and pandemic. TAFE is way too important; the attack on TAFE must stop. CPSU - Community and Public Sector Union NSW Teachers Federation
12.01.2022 OOSH COMMITMENT TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE WHILE FAMILIES ARE STRANDED ON WAITING LISTS NSW Labor is demanding the Berejiklian Government deliver on its election promise to provide an Out of School Hours Care (OOSH) placement for every NSW public school child who needs one by 2021. Today the Premier announced the Government will spend $20 million to launch OOSH hubs across 47 schools by mid-2021. This is well under their 2019 election promise to spend $120 million to provide all st...udents a place by 2021. The Shadow Minister for Early Childhood Learning Jodie Harrison said today’s announcement is an admission of failure: Yet again this Government has overpromised and underdelivered, Ms Harrison said. Working families are missing out on desperately needed before and after school care. Families living in metropolitan areas are still having to cobble together before and after school care arrangements just so they can get to work. Ms Harrison said the situation is particularly dire in regional NSW. This Government says it cares about people living in regional areas, but when it comes to before and after school care, regional people have been left high and dry, she said. In many regional centres there is no before and after school care at all, and where it does exist, the waiting list can be years long.
07.01.2022 LABOR CONDEMNS BEREJIKLIAN GOVERNMENT’S CUTS TO 700 TAFE JOBS Labor has condemned the Berejiklian Government’s plan to slash 700 frontline TAFE NSW jobs, a plan... that will cause chaos on TAFE campuses and further the Government’s plan to sell off the entire institution. The Berejiklian Government has announced two restructures of the TAFE system which will result in the loss of 10 per cent of all educational support jobs in NSW’s vocational education system and in the loss of 678 jobs in Student Services, Facilities Management & Logistics. These cuts will hit rural and regional NSW particularly hard, with 470 of the proposed cuts to Student Services, Facilities Management & Logistics slated to occur in the regions. NSW Labor Leader Jodi McKay said: The Berejiklian Government is cutting out TAFE system and selling it off bit by bit. They plan to sack hundreds of workers who are a vital part of our TAFE system. Our TAFE system simply wouldn’t function without these workers who are there to support our students and teachers. It is an insult for the Premier to call them back office workers and it is nothing less than economic vandalism to gut TAFE further during a recession. TAFE jobs placed on the chopping block by the Berejiklian Government include student advisers, customer support officers, field officers, fee help coordinators and help desk operators; all roles that are vital when it comes to bringing vulnerable students in need of skills into the system. Vital workers who maintain and secure local TAFE campuses including tradespeople, security officers and tool store persons are also in jeopardy. Shadow Minister for Skills and TAFE Jihad Dib said: Gladys Berejiklian’s Government are systematically taking our TAFE system apart. This is part of their plan to sell the whole system off to private operators. Thousands of young people across our communities rely on TAFE for the skills they need to get into the workforce and start their careers. They rely on these staff members to help navigate the system for them. These cuts make TAFE less accessible in the middle of a recession, the worst possible time for young people.
