Fix Jobseeker
Most Australian universities advise that full time students shouldn’t work more than 10-15 hours a week. If you do, it could effect your grades or lead to you failing a subject. Now, that might sound like a lot of hours, but 15 hours of work, if you’re on minimum wage at 18 years old, only […]
Lovisa Lawsuit
Workers being underpaid, and forced to work long shifts with no breaks, in harsh conditions. Sounds a bit like an Amazon warehouse or the sweatshops Nike shut down in the 1990s. But no, this is what the Australian jewellery brand Lovisa has been accused of in a recent class action lawsuit lodged by more than 300 […]
Does Anyone Remember the Dollarmites?
You know, those little yellow deposit books you took into school to become indoctrinated into the Commonwealth Bank. I mean, to learn about saving money.

Australians reported $330 million in losses to online scams to the National Anti-Scam Centre in the 2023-24 financial year. Even ATMs aren’t sticking around, with thousands closing down all over […]
Public transport for 50c
So it’s 2025, we’re in a cost of living crisis, what can you possibly buy for just 50c? Coffee’s are going for like $7, and just one myki trip is $5.50. Maybe a single carrot? Or a tomato? Basically nothing. Well here’s an idea! The Victorian Green are proposing a six month trial across all […]
Equality is NOT ‘wasteful & radical’
Following Trump’s inauguration and first slew of executive orders many communities are feeling isolated, excluded and unsafe in their own country. Trump, along with his most staunch supporters including JD Vance and Elon Musk, made divisive and misinformed comments about women, immigrants and other groups. One of Trump’s first executive orders directly attacked trans folk. […]
Holiday Hardship
This holiday season the cost of living crisis has been effecting us all.
