QLD Teachers Fightback
Correspondence regarding Fightback's campaign email reporting on August State Council, 2024
Published Sunday, 1 December 2024
At August State Council 2024, Fightback members elected to Council fought for our log of claims to contain clear, ambitious quantifiable demands around pay and conditions that reflect the huge number of motions carried in branches all around the state. Unfortunately, the log of claims endorsed by Council contained no such specific demands.

Tim Arnot attended Council as an observer and sent his observations to Fightback supporters. This led to correspondence from Kate Ruttiman, threatening to make a number of serious findings against him. The following exchange of letters occurred, where Tim defended himself, and the conclusion was that no further action was taken. There has been no formal ruling regarding observers’ rights. However, every meeting of State Council since then has had restrictions on the types of members permitted to observe Council.
