If you’re a parent who has been inconvenienced by the strike, ring your local ALP member and let them know they should agree to the teachers’ demands. Explain that you want your kids schools funded properly and their teachers paid appropriately.

I fully support the teacher’s strike tomorrow. Jacinta Allan talks a big game but is refusing to give Victorian teachers the increased pay and better conditions they richly deserve. They are massively underpaid and undervalued.

“A partner at the law firm instrumental in bringing the class action that toppled the robodebt scheme…” Naw, sorry, this is incorrect. Gordon Legal wasn’t responsible for the legal action that resulted in Robodebt being found unlawful. That was Vic Legal Aid www.themandarin.com.au/307565-robod...

Politicians’ confidence in the quality of advice they're getting from senior public servants is misplaced, says robodebt prosecutor.

Lol, those new nature laws and a nature-positive agenda are going SO well. "Murray Watt, has given the green light for the bulldozing of nearly 3,000 hectares of tropical savanna in the Northern Territory without an assessment under Australia’s nature laws." www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

NT environmentalists ‘gobsmacked’ at federal green light to bulldoze nearly 3,000 hectares of tropical savanna

Daly River region is home to threatened species such as the ghost bat, Gouldian finch, pig-nosed turtle and red goshawk

Watching the footage emerging of the police brutality from Sydney last night is truly sickening. People have a right to peacefully protest. And shame on the media for framing this as 'protesters clashed with police' when from the footage it was clear that 'peaceful protesters were bashed by police'

Is it normal practice for a government agency scientist, and others, to rebut other scientists’ unpublished work (pre-print) and send it to a government Minister, without telling the original authors and giving them a chance to respond? Seems mighty uncool to me.

The NDIS changes have forced some people to be hospitalised, and led to regression of capacity for others; some fear being forced out of independent living into a group home. Others have said the changes have led to considering suicide or assisted dying www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

‘Overwhelming sense of doom’: NDIS support cuts leave families in fear – and there are more to come

Many small changes since 2024 have ‘added up to one big cut’, advocates say, and the two biggest changes are due to roll out this year

2/ If it doesn't make sense then it's a lie & a whopper at that. His speech & actions allegedly say he does not support AU cultural values or its multiculturalism. He does not support a Voice for Aborigines. He does not support AUs secular civil society or implement sane security & safety measures+

Mr Albanese says that Israeli President Herzog is the equivalent to AUs Governor General. As it's named in the Palestinian genocide I sincerely hope she's not. Mr Albanese says he invited politician President Herzog to AU as he does not want divisive Middle Eastern politics played out here. ? 2/

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...
