With the Fair Work Commission’s decision to increase the national minimum wage by 4.75%, Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) is calling for further action to support people doing it tough, as well as the frontline community services helping them. “People are under severe pressure from interest rate rises, rent increases, higher fuel costs, and growing economic uncertainty due to the conflict in the Middle East,” said ACOSS Acting CEO Edwina MacDonald.

Organisers are expecting at least 16,000 to be celebrating the new year at the Falls Festival at North Byron Parklands over coming days.

With free camping, and people allowed to camp in their cars, the Parklands site will be one of the largest gatherings in northern New South Wales.

Organisers are promising the ‘finest contemporary tunes from across the globe with interactive arts, sustainable initiatives, yummy food and good people’.

Two and three day tickets for the festival are still available.

Meanwhile, the Tropical Fruits New Year’s Eve party at the Lismore showgrounds is also gearing up for a massive party.

The annual dance party, which attracts gay men, lesbians, bi, trans, queer folk and their friends,  has already sold more than $400,000 worth of tickets, but tickets are still available on the door.

For those who were thinking of attending the New Year’s Eve party at Kohinur hall, in the hills behind Mullumbimby, the event has sold out.
