17.01.2022 UNION NEWS | The PMs comments about this moment being a shared opportunity to fix systemic problems sound positive but are pretty opaque. Employees are keen to use this opportunity to discuss moving forward to a new normal, rather than reverting to the old one. We hope that that will include a consideration of the governments own policies covering industrial relations in the commonwealth public service. The PM says Weve booked the room, we've hired the hall, we've got the table ready. Hosting the discussion is great, and we are up for that discussion. But we also need him to sit at that table with us and be prepared to pull apart his own policies. Read the full story here http://ow.ly/thqp50zQRFD
