| Social media must be pulled into line | | Social media companies are threatening the sustainability of news media in Australia, MEAA says in a new submission to a Parliamentary inquiry. In its submission to the joint select committee on social media and Australian society, MEAA says platforms like Facebook, X and TikTok are distorting the public discourse by failing to control misinformation and disinformation. MEAA’s submission directly contradicts the assertion by Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, that it is not in the news business and is not responsible for misinformation. MEAA says Meta is a jmajor source of news for Australians and has started using news content to train its AI models. MEAA is recommending that Meta should be designated under the News Media Bargaining Code and should be forced to continue to carry news content. Other recommendations include expanding the Code beyond Facebook and Google to other platforms including Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and X; amending the Code to specify that money must be spent on public interest journalism; and broadening its scope to include smaller outlets. | |

Delegates put forward members’ claim for an 8% pay rise in 2024 followed by 6% in the subsequent two years. AAP did not propose a counter offer at the meeting but said it had no plans to cut any existing conditions. Other claims from members include improvements to rostering, a formal process for performance reviews, a gender and racial pay gap audit, and expanding the coverage of the agreement to include specialist desks. |
