Alice Leung Jane Caro In the mid to late 80s, the price of a modest 3 bedroom fibro home in Bankstown was 3-4 times a beginning teacher’s salary. That home is now 14-15 times a beginning teacher’s salary.

Supporters of public education , I recommend a repost!

A new Amnesty investigation has found that the Israeli army indiscriminately, and therefore unlawfully, used white phosphorous in an attack on Dhayra in south Lebanon on 16 October.

The attack must be investigated as a war crime.

“If there is to be a Voice, its structure & future will be decided by parliament, which means the (NO CAMPAIGN’S) core DECEPTION is that there is a secret plan to be sprung on Australians. That is wrong.” smh.com.au/politics/feder…

A big thank you to the Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Roger Jaensch, and Senator Anne Urquhart for showing their support together for the Voice.

The Voice is an opportunity to put politics aside. Let's get this done together. #voteyes

Today ‘The Australian’ published an article blaming Brittany Higgins for “making this a media and political story instead of a criminal justice matter”.

You don’t get to do this. You don’t get to ask why victims don’t speak up; and then when they do, say they did it wrong.

Geoff Gallop reporting to NSW Teachers Federation council on the decline in salaries and growing teachers shortages since the Gallop Report was handed down two years ago. The Dominic Perrottet government has failed NSW families and schools

I took a photo of an old page in my diary on the 7th of July 2021.

It is now being referenced in an article in the Australian.

This is the third time private images, texts and WhatsApps from my phone have been published by this particular news outlet. (1/3)

Perrottet had stronger condemnation for a woman protesting than he has for his minister, who he still fully endorses, illegally distributing revenge porn

Dominic Perrottet in summary.
Cool with school saying HPV vaccine encourages promiscuity
Cool with gay conversion.
Cool with brothers refusing to appear before parliamentary enquiry.
Cool with MP keeping job after alleged revenge porn posting.
Cool cool cool cool.

The Perrottet Government’s Department of Education conducted a teacher survey last year. (CESE 2022 Teacher Survey)

I wonder why it would be refusing to release the results? 🤔

I’m sure the responses would make for interesting reading.

As students return to school for 2023, never forget that 11 years after the Gonski review into school funding recommended the creation of a national Schooling Resource Standard, public schools still do not receive the minimum levels of funding required to meet student need.

Having done all I can for family, neighbours & Hound to ensure their happiest of Christmases,may I turn to you,my dearest friends. You may never know the extent of the joy & comfort you’ve given me this year..but I certainly do. Thank you & Happy Festive Season to you all. ❤️❤️❤️

Dominic Perrottet has been caught paying his senior executives $1b in wages. While essential workers leave in droves.
They just don’t get it.

Do you think the “editors” of these wretched, lying Murdochracy rags ever lie awake at night, tormented by doubt and shame ?

This Mum got an email from her kids' school today. Minimal supervision; classes have been collapsed into just 2 groups across the primary school due to teacher illness and lack of casual cover. This teacher shortage means our kids are missing out.

I have no adequate words to craft a response to this program. It is beyond devastating. Four Corners

Education minister is worried about the disruption that a 24hr strike may have, but doesn't care one bit about the disruptions to student learning every other day of the year. Collapsed classes, staff shortages, overworked and underpaid teachers causes no disruption in her head

You can’t fix teacher shortages without

If we don’t pay teachers what they are worth, we won’t get the teachers we need.

Good shit, and about time
Anthony Albanese at presser tonight asked question by a journo & part way into his response the journo interrupted
Anthony Albanese stopped and assertively said
‘You ask a question, I answer it. That is how these press conferences will work. It is not an exchange’
