US cables show reliance on trade unions to suppress working-class unrest in Australia
Declassified US diplomatic cables from the 1970s have revealed the intense, daily preoccupation by the American State Department and its many informants throughout the Labor Party and trade union leadership with how to contain and quash the eruption of potentially revolutionary working-class rebellions in Australia and internationally. The extremely limited media coverage of a recently-published study of the documents has focused on the revelation that Bob Hawke, who later became a Labor Party prime minister, was a highly-valued and constant “informer” to the US government while the head of the Australian trade union movement and president of the Labor Party during the 1970s.

Regular protests were organised outside both hotel prisons, while some refugees challenged their detention in court.
As a result of the protests and the legal action, the federal government began releasing some of the refugees. About 12 the original 65 refugees remain in the Park Hotel, however a number of those detained in the Kangaroo Point Hotel have been bought to the Park Hotel prison. About 25 refugees remain trapped there now.
Those who have been released on temporary visas have received no support from the federal government. Some have found work, often under highly exploitative conditions, while others are dependent on assistance from refugee supporters and charities.

Digital behemoths such as Facebook and Google would be forced to pay more tax under a proposal from a Labor backbencher who wants an immediate crackdown on multinational corporations to help repair the federal budget.
Victorian MP Peter Khalil, a former security adviser to ex-prime minister Kevin Rudd, is suggesting either a tax on the revenue companies earn from selling personal data, a digital services tax or a tax on cash flow to force multinational corporate giants to pay more to the Australian government. He further believes these taxes would help pressure major corporates to support a global minimum tax rate, which could limit the use of offshore tax havens.
