The casualty list is a long one: care of ourselves, each other, our households, families and communities, our quality of life, care in childhood, old age, sickness and death, and our efforts to live well and to reproduce. The effects go beyond how we feel: they affect vital economic and demographic trends. Barbara Pocock discusses the issues with Tanya Plibersek, and Jeannette McHugh is in the chair. It's happening on Monday evening in Sydney 5.30pm for 6pm (1 September).

Transforming labour: work, struggle and changeEveryone's on their way to Brisbane on 3-5 October for the 8th national labour history conference.
