According to the search results, thousands of tradies protested across capital cities in Australia on August 27, 2024, against wage increases in line with inflation 3. This protest action involved workers putting down their tools and walking off the job to demand better wages amid Australia’s cost-of-living crisis.

The main strike action was planned in Melbourne, with workers striking in solidarity with the CFMEU (Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union) 13. West Australian tradies also stood in solidarity with the CFMEU on Tuesday, August 27, as part of a national protest 14.

These protests were not only about wages but also demonstrated outrage towards the federal government’s move to put the construction arm of the CFMEU under forced administration 13. The situation is further complicated by the fact that Australia faces an impossible task of finding an extra 90,000 tradies in the next three months for the government to meet its flagship goal to combat the housing crisis 9.

The protests on August 27, 2024, were a significant disruption to city centres across Australia, with thousands of workers participating in solidarity marches and strikes. The situation highlights the growing tensions between the construction industry and the federal government over wages, working conditions, and the administration of trade unions.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on human rights worldwide.

According to various reports and studies, the pandemic exposed systemic gaps in human rights protection that undermined resilience 3. It also accelerated and intensified repressive trends that threatened human rights 5.

Some of the key impacts of the pandemic on human rights include:

Restrictions on movement and assembly: Lockdown regulations and travel restrictions were implemented to control the spread of the virus, but they had a huge impact on the rights of millions of people across countries 15.

Violations of the right to health: The pandemic highlighted existing gaps in healthcare systems and exposed weaknesses in human rights protection related to health 9.

Threats to freedom of speech and assembly: The pandemic led to increased surveillance and restrictions on public gatherings, which raised concerns about human rights 11.

Impact on vulnerable populations: The pandemic disproportionately affected marginalized communities, including refugees, migrants, and indigenous peoples 12.

Overall, the COVID-19 pandemic presented unique challenges to the promotion and protection of health and human rights worldwide.
