For those Canberra journalists cowering in their bunkers waiting for a leak, a briefing, a friendly chat, we offer a simple counter-strategy: develop your own contacts, get your own stories and when the minders come around to threaten you, tell them to f...k off.

E-Brief #29 Now Available

Well what a week it was. Congratulations everyone who worked so hard to elect a federal Labor government. Congratulations to all the candidates especially Janelle Saffin, Mike Bailey, Tanya Plibersek, Anthony Albanese, George Newhouse and Victoria Brookman. While not all were successful - all flew the flag for a fairer and more decent Australia. Congratulations also to all those in the union movement who demonstrated that solidarity and a fair go are fundamental rights that Australians are willing to fight and vote for.

What needs to be done to give babies and children the best chance in life?
Submitted by Administrator on Fri, 28/07/2006 - 4:00pm.
In 1998 the Labor government established the Commission for Children and Young People (CCYP). The Commission plays a vital role in advising government on the welfare, wellbeing and safety of young people and children in NSW.
CCYP’s latest report, What about the kids? provides an excellent overview of what needs to be done to improve the experiences of babies and young children in Australia. The report provides evidence based recommendations that would make a difference immediately. These include:
- quality childcare with strong regulation
- workplace action to provide for family responsibilities
