Adelaide, South Australia
Joined December 2011
The @SDAunion has had a huge win! Forcing McDonald’s in South Australia to the bargaining table for the first time in years. Maccas have been refusing to negotiate with their workers. But new laws mean corporate America can no longer ignore their low paid Aussie workforce.

This is your first look inside the newly completed Adelaide Aquatic Centre. A world-class facility, built for the community. It’s been a busy four years - and we said we would get this done. Today, it opens.

South Australian Labor is grieving the loss of our good mate Tim Picton. Losing someone so young, with such energy and promise is heartbreaking. We are devastated for the Picton family and are sending them our love and holding them in our thoughts. May he rest in peace.

When Rundle Mall opened in 1976, it was Australia’s first pedestrian mall - a bold decision that set a national benchmark for city‑centre precincts. And today, we celebrate its 50th year since being opened!

Chemist Warehouse is one of Australia’s richest companies, yet their workers earn the bare minimum. We’re commitment changing that and organising pharmacy workers across Australia for better pay and respect at work.

The @SDAunion has won our case at the Fair Work Commission to force Chemist Warehouse in South Australia to the bargaining table for the very first time. This is the first multi-employer bargaining order in the retail sector and only made possible under Labor’s new laws.

I’m so proud that the SDA in South Australia has secured over $5.5 million for some incredible and hardworking regional South Aussies. Four years ago we commenced legal action, because we wanted wage justice for these workers. And we never gave up. https://t.co/oYROEvwnQJ
