After weeks of platitudes about the essential work done by public servants throughout NSW, the State Government Tannounced planned 2.5 per cent pay rises would not go ahead unless they had already been agreed. The PSA had already negotiated a pay increase for 2020-21 for staff in Transport. Members in schools received an increase thanks to the PSA’s 2019 Pay Equity case. The CPSU NSW also won several rises for members covered by the Fair Work Commission. However, despite the case for a 2.5 per cent pay rise for most PSA members under the Crown Employees Award being lodged in December last year, Treasurer Dominic Perrottet announced in May that wages would be frozen. This would also affect other non-PSA employees, including police, nurses and teachers. All these workers, and many supporting the bill was a broad mix of supporters; PSA/CPSU NSW members, had continued to work One Nation; the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers; during the shutdown created by the COVID-19 the Animal Justice Party; and former Green Justin pandemic.

Received: 27 May 2020; Accepted: 16 July 2020; Published: 28 July 2020 Abstract: High rates of unemployment among people with disability are long-standing and persistent problems worldwide. For public policy,estimates of prevalence and population profiles are required for designing support schemes such as Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme; for monitoring implementation of the United Nations Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities; and for monitoring service access, participation, and equity for people with disability in mainstream systems including employment. In the public sector, creating a succinct identifier for disability in administrative systems is a key challenge for public policy design and monitoring. This requires concise methods of identifying people with disability within systems, producing data comparable with population data to gauge accessibility and equity.

  • A Security Audit of Australian Government Websites
    A Security Audit of Australian Government Websites Dali Kaafar, Gioacchino Tangari, Muhammad Ikram Optus Macquarie University Cyber Security Hub Abstract This document presents a security analysis of the Australian government websites (Both federal and state-level), with a focus on the adoption of the encrypted communication protocol, HTTPS, the security level of its implementation and configuration in government websites, as well as the security of the websites resources loading from external parties. What HTTPS does: HTTPS protects the integrity and confidentiality of data between the user’s computer and the website by preventing information from being read or altered while in transit. It also provides authentication mechanisms that prevent unknown or untrusted websites from masquerading as the intended website (e.g., a government website or service), ensuring that the other end of the channel is the one the user intends to communicate with. Dataset: We extracted the list of government websites, both for the federal government and for the state/territory governments, from public directories as reported in [–, , , , , , ] and retained websites that are hosted under the .gov.au domain space. Overall, we analysed a set of websites, of which belong to the federal government departments and belong to state/territory governments. Methodology: Our analysis relies on extensive security audits performed on both Australian federal government websites (in , , and ) and Australian state/territory government websites (in ). We conduct the analysis
