The government remains1 divided on the safe schools program, with a number of coalition2 backbenchers petitioning for it to be defunded.

In question time the prime minister called for MP’s to watch their words on the issue, while labor3 says Malcolm Turnbull should rein4 in ideologues in his own party.

Former PM Tony Abbott was among those who signed the petition, despite launching the program while in office.

Fairfax editorial staff in Sydney and Melbourne will strike until Monday, after the company announced the equivalent of 120 full-time5 jobs will go.

The positions will be axed from the Sydney morning herald6, the financial review and the age in a cost-cutting exercise.

The media, entertainment and arts alliance believes the cuts amount to one-quarter of the editorial workforce7.

随着联盟后座议员请愿全被撤消，在学校安全问题上政府依旧分歧不断。

质询时总理呼吁劳动党看看在这个问题上他们的言论,而后者则称马尔科姆·特恩布尔应该遏制党内“空想家”。

尽管任职期间启动了这项计划，但前首相阿伯特曾经签署过请愿书。

宣布将裁掉120名全职员工后，费尔法克斯媒体的员工将在悉尼和墨尔本罢工到周一。

这些岗位将从《悉尼先驱晨报》、《金融评论》及《削减成本的时代运动》中进行裁员。

媒体、娱乐、艺术联盟认为此番裁员将会削减四分之一的工作人员。
