#BREAKING Congratulations to #MEAAmedia members at Nine Publishing, who have secured an in-principle agreement that will deliver an inflation-busting pay rise this year, ethical use of AI in newsrooms and a way forward for freelancers to get a fair deal on pay and conditions. #DontTorchJournalism

I’m going on strike with my colleagues at @theage and @smh to fight for fair pay and conditions, and to protect the public’s right to quality journalism. These are profitable publications and the work that we do is important. We deserve better. @withMEAA #DontTorchJournalism

Australian media’s $70m lifeline ends in months. Meta isn’t picking up

Australian newsrooms face a $70 million-a-year hole in operations if Meta walks away from news bargaining code deals that start to expire in three months.

On #loveyourbookshopday it would be rude not to. Perth has some lovely bookstores but my favourite local is Maylands gem Rabble Books where I never fail to spend more money than I should. If you value local bookshops, please support *your* favourite (and treat yourself).

MEAA members at The West Australian have overwhelmingly endorsed a new 3-year enterprise bargaining agreement that includes improvements to career progression. Some employees on lower grades will have a pay rise of up to 9% in the first year of the EBA. #MEAAmedia @MEAAMediaWA
