Big win for workers' safety ✊

Indonesia’s High Court has thrown out a massive lawsuit by the asbestos industry aimed at silencing health and consumer advocates.

The ruling is a win for free speech, public health, and the right to speak out about the dangers of asbestos.

ACTU statement on Bondi Beach terror attack

16/12/2025

The hero shop owner who disarmed one of the alleged Bondi gunmen by throwing himself at the heavily armed man faces a months-long recovery after being shot during the massacre on Australia's iconic beach.

Ahmed Al-Ahmed, the 43-year-old father who bystanders say likely saved many lives when he ripped a gun out of the hands of one of the alleged attackers, underwent surgery in hospital on Monday.

NSW Premier Chris Minns visited Ahmed in hospital on Monday night, praising his "incredible bravery".

"There is no doubt that more lives would have been lost if not for Ahmed's selfless courage," he said in a Facebook post.

An online fundraiser to recognise the small business owner for his bravery had raised more than $1 million by Monday evening.

At least 16 people died, including one of the alleged shooters, and many more were left injured after the gunmen took aim at a crowd gathered for a Hanukkah celebration at the beach just before 7pm on Sunday.

Why is it important to have a Will?

A Will ensures your wishes are legally recognised and can bring peace of mind during a difficult time. An executor is the person named in your Will who helps carry out your wishes. When planning for the future, it can be comforting to know who that will be. If there isn’t a Will, an administrator will be appointed to take on a similar role.

To help make things clearer during what can be an emotional and overwhelming time, we’ve created an informative, supportive hub on our website. You'll find explanations on what executors do, how the process works, and information about writing your Will: https://ow.ly/bEEM50XHpjN

If you'd prefer to have a chat about Wills, please get in touch - we’re always here to help.
