I've been at the ABC 15 years. For the first 5 or 6 of those I was stuck barely above my cadet wage. @IanVerrender came in from outside & was shocked at how poorly some of us were paid. You shouldn't have to rely on a great manager to get fair pay. #DontDiscountABC @withMEAA 1/2

Floods. Fires. Covid. I’ve worked hundreds of hours of unpaid overtime to deliver the emergency coverage Australians deserve. Our ABC matters. Without sustainable careers, it can’t provide this essential service. @withMEAA #DontDiscountABC

It took me 14 attempts to get into the ABC, and while I love my job I'm disheartened to hear there's a pay ceiling for regional journos and that even my city colleagues don't get the conditions they deserve. That's why I'm fighting @withMEAA for a fairer deal #DontDiscountABC 💪

Working in journalism is a choice I made - a choice of a fulfilling career on lower than pay than the average Australian. The higher cost of living means more of us will choose something else. Even with the ABC’s improved pay offer, so much talent is leaving. #DontDiscountABC

I’ve seen too many talented colleagues angry and frustrated, taking on more and more roles for no extra pay and no real prospects of progression. Too many have already walked out the door. We love our ABC. I’m standing @withmeaa for a fair go and a better Aunty #dontdiscountabc

A fantastic deep-dive by @CasonKYHo into where WA’s Metronet project is at, more than five years on. @abcperth @abcnews #PerthNews #WANews abc.net.au/news/2022-08-14/w…
After waiting for a train for five years, Ellenbrook chef Lorenzo finally gave up

After waiting for a train for five years, Ellenbrook chef Lorenzo finally gave up

Metronet was sold as an "affordable and achievable" way of addressing urban sprawl. But five years on, there is still little more to show than sandy construction sites and unopened facilities.

Bradley Edwards killed Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon but it can’t be proved he killed Sarah Spiers beyond reasonable doubt, Justice Hall has ruled in the Claremont serial killings trial. However it’s likely he killed Sarah also, the judge said #Claremont @abcperth
