Celebrating News Breakers- Carole CadWalladr

Great to celebrate people who have pushed boundaries to get a story told. Their achievements tell how individuals can make a difference to the way a story is reported and shared.

The Breaking the News Exhibition at the British Library in London celebrates news breakers such as Carole Cadwalladr who broke the Cambridge Analytica story in 2018.

Time to re-set the opportunities for our children and grandchildren

Australians face many issues today, and we can take action to impact some more than others. Action on climate change is essential, but the impact of our contribution to the global challenge is minimal. Things are different regarding the economy and opportunities for coming generations. We can re-set our taxation framework and government spending patterns to reduce debt and boost chances for all. We need a community-wide deliberation on how to share the load in building a more robust economy and ladder of opportunity for future generations.

New law requires businesses to post salary ranges on job ads

New York City joins at least seven US states that are requiring some form of salary transparency, including Colorado, Washington and Connecticut. The rules are part of a broader push to narrow the gender pay gap by also prohibiting companies in many jurisdictions from asking about compensation at previous employers or retaliating against workers who share their own pay information. New York City’s new law applies to employers with four or more workers. That amounts to about 1/3 of employers but roughly 90% of workers in the city, according to state Labor Department statistics. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-12/countdown-starts-for-nyc-businesses-required-to-post-salar
