25.01.2022 Latest scandal: iCare awarded a $140 million IT contract in a seven-day tender, despite bidders warning that the rushed process would lead to ruin. The cost of building iCare’s new IT platform has since risen to $360 million, and the project is still incomplete.

24.01.2022 BREAKING: Labor's Bill to ban bonuses at icare passes the Upper House. It is time to stop the exorbitant bonuses being paid to icare's executives.

22.01.2022 "It’s a system that denies its workers sick leave, the right to challenge unfair sackings, training, protective gear and insurance. It stands as a blatant contradiction of the working conditions generations of Australians fought for."

22.01.2022 BREAKING: The NSW Upper House just voted 23 - 17 to call on Qantas to reverse its contemptable decision to force 2500 loyal Qantas workers to join a labour hire company if they want to hold on to their jobs. It got fiery in the House...WATCH.

21.01.2022 Australia gave Qantas $800 million worth of taxpayer support to save jobs - not to turn 2500 full time (and permanent) jobs into labour hire gigs. Qantas management has made the wrong decision. They should reverse it. The best way to rebuild our broken economy is by creating secure jobs for hardworking families.

20.01.2022 This week I introduced a Bill in Parliament to ensure food delivery workers receive basic safety equipment like helmets. Every worker who goes to work should be able to return home safely. This is a simple step to make sure of that.

19.01.2022 Icare is busted again. This time they handed $8 million without tender to another company closely aligned to the Liberal Party....

19.01.2022 This is heartbreaking. Close to three in four workers in the gig economy are worried about being hurt or killed while delivering food. That statistic should not exist in New South Wales in 2020.

17.01.2022 It’s incredible that iCare would break their own rules to put the former Treasurer of the NSW Liberal Party in-charge of board recruitment..

16.01.2022 NSW Small Business Month is coming to end. I tip my hat to the tens of thousands of NSW small businesses who have battled through the toughest year in decades...

15.01.2022 What will it take for this Government step up?

13.01.2022 Diego was a food delivery rider. Earlier this year an app terminated him, but wouldn't tell him why. If Diego did a traditional job, he could ask for his job back - claiming unfair dismissal. But it's not clear whether the Fair Work Act applies to the gig economy. So Diego (and the @twuaus) are fighting a test case. It has big implications for the gig economy. I was pleased to join Diego last week on his first hearing day. Regardless of whether Diego wins its clear: Australia's laws need modernising. Your rights at work shouldn’t depend on whether you are called an 'employee.'

11.01.2022 NSW Labor today convinced Parliament to establish the state's first ever dust disease register to fight silicosis, a deadly lung disease threatening the lives of the state's tunnellers and stonemasons. New South Wales now has tougher laws to fight the silicosis epidemic. Labor will keep campaigning until NSW has all the laws we need to halt the spread of silicosis.

11.01.2022 In Australia, anybody working full time should earn a living wage. This story about one gig worker shows how easy it is to deny some Australians that promise. Next week, hearings begin in Labor’s inquiry into the future of work. We want to modernize our laws to honor every Australians rights at work. Decent pay shouldn’t depend on whether you’re called a ‘contractor’ or an ‘employee.’

09.01.2022 Two deaths in three days is unacceptable. A massive safety crisis is unfolding in the gig economy. It will get worse over summer. No industry should be left to write their own rules. Every day of inaction puts more lives at risk. We need the State Government to act. We need modern workplace health and safety laws and a modernised workers compensation system.... No one ordering food through an app expects their rider to die on the job. Everyone who goes to work has the right to come home safe.

05.01.2022 The public is sick and tired of large corporate directors telling the public one story but privately believing another....

05.01.2022 This tender doesn’t pass the sniff test. It happened on the Treasurer’s watch. He should take responsibility.

05.01.2022 Labor will keep fighting for the rights of gig workers.
