The RBA foyer might need a revamp — the review recommends a change to the way the RBA's objectives are legislated. "The economic prosperity and welfare of Australians…should be legislated to be the overarching purpose for the RBA in the exercise of all its powers." @abcnews

Thousands of readers are currently reading about the RBA's latest rate hike & how it will impact them on the ABC website. It's just one of the platforms where specialist reporters are providing up to date info and detailed analysis. 1) #DontDiscountABC @withMEAA

Our work is important & we love doing it. We need fair conditions, opportunities to progress & a decent pay rise at a time when the cost of living is biting, mortgage repayments and rents are rising — and people want to know about it. That's why I stand @withMEAA #DontDiscountABC

My dream was to work @abcnews & I'm proud to have done for 17 yrs. But I've been stuck at pay/band ceilings underpaid & fought to have that fixed worked shift hrs travelled away from family $$ for professional counselling. Please treat us better #DontDiscountABC @withMEAA

As someone who writes a fair bit about gender eqaulity and equal pay, I keep hope that one day the pay gap won't exist. The headlines will read: "Gender pay gap eradicated". I’m standing @withmeaa to win a fair deal. #DontDiscountABC

I’ve been fighting for years to be paid at the level I’m working at. I’m now on a Band 4 contract and paid more. That will end soon. My pay will drop but the duties I perform and the level I work at will remain the same. We need genuine progression. #DontdiscountABC @withMEAA

Floods. Fires. Covid. I’ve worked hundreds of hours of unpaid overtime to deliver the emergency coverage Australians deserve. Our ABC matters. Without sustainable careers, it can’t provide this essential service. @withMEAA #DontDiscountABC

I love my job at the ABC and living in regional Qld, where I want to stay and raise my kids. But without sustainable careers, ABC can’t provide the essential service our regional communities deserve. @withMEAA #DontDiscountABC 1/3

Jon insecurity is a huge issue @abcnews, particularly for women who have children and want to advance their career. My decision to have two children has held me back and resulted in job insecurity. I am proud to work for the ABC but we can do better. #DontDiscountABC @withMEAA

I've been at the ABC 15 years. For the first 5 or 6 of those I was stuck barely above my cadet wage. @IanVerrender came in from outside & was shocked at how poorly some of us were paid. You shouldn't have to rely on a great manager to get fair pay. #DontDiscountABC @withMEAA 1/2

Working for the #ABC is a privilege. But @abcnews is losing early & mid-career journalists who just can’t make the financial math work. They’re stuck on low pay grades and despite stellar performance, they can’t move up. Time to fix this. #DontDiscountABC @withMEAA

Thanks for the well wishes - I am ok, nearly recovered & able to afford to seek advice from a GP and specialist pulse oximeter. Just worried others might be needing assistance and waiting to be contacted, given the message is pregnant women will receive support
