Early days but thank you SA for leading the country on uptake of the flu shot so far. If you’ve been thinking about it, now is a great time to get yours too – at your local pharmacy, GP or other immunisation provider. SA Health Immunisation Coalition The Pharmacy Guild of Australia AMA Media






In 1999 Toys R Us sacked Amanda Rishworth MP and offered her job back if she signed one of Howard’s AWAs. The SDA Union stepped in, stood up for Amanda and won. I’m incredibly proud that my great friend Amanda Rishworth will today become Australia’s Workplace Relations Minister


Amanda Rishworth MP knows what happens when government policy enables big business to take advantage of workers. She also knows how important it is to have a strong union movement standing by the side of working people in this country. Congratulations Amanda!
