Just listening to the national cabinet debrief. The IEU needs to mobilise immediately based on these announcements. If our fees are worth anything this has to be challenged - an absolute disgrace

Scott Morrison used the cover of Christmas to quietly veto uni research projects recommended for funding by his Govt’s own independent body. Clearly the Libs only believe in free speech + freedom of thought when they agree with what’s being said. Bad for society + our democracy. – at New South Wales, Australia

I was in the line for a cab tonight and a man called my friend a slut. When I said that’s not on, another man said “oooh we’ve got a feminist”. Please raise your sons to be better than this. It’s 2021.

A little frustrated to see the PM in the papers today calling on business to do more on climate change. Imagine where we would be if the Liberals hadn’t spent 10 years doing absolutely nothing to bring down power prices and pollution.

It’s a start (but not a big win) greater incentives are still needed to attract beginning teachers to rural schools. More scholarships, paying of HECS, incentive guaranteed transfers, significantly increased renumeration packages are a big win.
education.nsw.gov.au/news/la… Incentives overhaul a big win for regional schools and teachers.
