The Community & Public Sector Union

Huge turnout in the south today. It’s time to bridge the wage and conditions gap to recruit and retain staff and so Tasmanians have access to services they need and want. #politas

@anthony_dodd1 @7tasnews @thirza_white

Independent David O’Byrne has asked the Premier about intensifying public sector wage negotiations, saying mentioning good faith negotiations means little without action and that the ongoing dispute can’t continue, he asked what the plans is to resolve it @7tasnews #politas

@anthony_dodd1 @7tasnews Maybe he should have asked why 2800 fewer jobs will be good for Tasmania 🤔

Liberal MP Marcus Vermey has asked the Premier to explain why Building Tasmania will be positive for the state. Jeremy Rockliff talked about continuing momentum with major projects such as Marinus Link, Mac Point Stadium. I thought Dorothy dixers were banned? #politas @7tasnews

Much of Tasmania’s economic growth has been driven by the capable and professional public sector within State Growth. Cutting hundreds of jobs will hurt families, local businesses and the broader economy #politas

You cannot build a stronger Tasmania by stripping out critical human capability. Buildings, roads and stadiums alone don’t service our community — skilled public servants do #politas

Premier is asked what he’d like to say to public sector workers after the Treasurer’s comments last week, CPSU delegates are listening in the public gallery on behalf of members across services #politas

Opposition leader asking Health Minister if police have a harder job than health workers #politas

Labor MP Jess Greene has asked the Children’s Minister about recent Ashley Youth Detention Centre incidents and issues and if police have more difficult work than staff at AYDC #politas @7tasnews

Another question, this time to Education Minister Jo Palmer about whether police have a harder job than schools staff. #politas

Follow up question to Treasurer asking which workers have a less difficult job than police. #politas

First question on bargaining to the Premier, asking if police have a harder job than other public sector workers, after a comment made by the Treasurer last week. #politas

Josh Willie has asked the Premier how his government plans to attract and retain public sector workers after Treasurer Abetz’s recent comments, Willie says, devalued them #politas @7tasnews

Opposition leader Josh Willie has asked the Premier if he’ll publicly reject Treasurer Eric Abetz’s recent comments that police have a more difficult job than public service workers #politas @7tasnews

CPSU delegates outside parliament this morning on the first sitting day of the year. #politas

The latest Report on Government Services shows nearly half of all child safety notifications now take more than 90 days to be addressed — almost double the rate of five years ago. Time to end the Child Safety crisis by employing the staff we need @jeremyrockliff #politas

@CPSU members put up 5 few simple practical solutions. 1. Minimum ratios. 2. Minimum two on night shift per unit. 3. Set Bedtimes 4. A floating team to manage visit escorts, medical appointments and social work engagements. 5. Meetings outside of units

Back on X is anyone still here? To call out Minister Palmer, who yesterday made abhorrent comments suggesting she would only protect the safety of Ashley Youth Justice workers who did not strike, a strike about safety. Today, a serious incident injuring three workers #politas

The government has let this problem continue for too long. The action was the direct consequence of the department failing staff and young people at Ashley. #politas

The Commission of Inquiry was meant to rebuild trust. Cutting child safeguarding roles shatters it. Why is the Rockliff Govt cutting safeguarding roles at the LGH? #politas #CommissionofInquiryTas
