Ray White’s head of research Vanessa Rader said the survey calculated the occupancy rate based on how active the building is, or whether there a lease. “Sydney is trending well ahead of Melbourne which is yet to hit 50 per cent, a sign that the market is having a much harder time. Canberra is a volatile one.”

Businesses are also holding a greater number of social events that coincide with days of importance, including Women’s Day, Harmony Day and Wear it Purple Day.

Companies required to report gender pay gap under new billEqual Workplaces Co-Founder Dr Rachel Howard says companies will be required to report their gender pay gap publicly on the workplace gender equality agency website under the new gender pay gap bill. “It’ll take about 26 years to close the gap, so this is going to make a big difference,” Ms Howard told Sky News Australia. “It’s very difficult to predict when it will close and how much of a difference this will make.” More red tape, more reporting, more costs to business. Where will it end? When the recession hits can we just park it until the cost cutting is completed. Gov controlling the masses. Communism is here Australia This will backfire spectacularly when it’s shown that more women get paid MORE than men for the same job.

‘Carbon tax by stealth’: Coal companies express concern over PM’s climate change policyMajor coal companies say the Prime Minister's newly minted climate change policy is, in effect, a 'carbon tax by stealth', according to Sky News host Sharri Markson. “Greens leader Adam Bandt says that under the deal he struck with Labor, Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen now has special powers and calls them a 'pollution trigger', Ms Markson said. “This would give Chris Bowen the power to stop fossil fuel expansion if it would lift pollution above legislated targets.” She said this could mean coal exports would be stopped if emissions have reached a certain level. 'Coal companies – Whitehaven, New Hope, Bowen Coking Coal and Peabody Australia – say that Labor's concessions to the Greens will increase energy prices, destroy jobs and kill foreign investment.' That was obvious even before the last election but all the fools kept drinking the koolaid , as often said be careful what you wish for folks They wanted a carbon tax and the people voted against it. Labour have always treated the people with contempt Who’s Sharri backing these days.
