People aren't used to having low unempoyment in Australia - fair enough - we haven't seen it for 50 yrs.
But low unemployment isn't a Yeti - it's real & policy makers are working to lock it in.
It's a good thing so don't not slag policies aimed at retaining full employment

This is FANTASTIC for Victorian kids & families! Back when I worked with EBD kids in England, free school breakfasts were GAME CHANGING for kids who’d previously struggled with concentration. Tangible, dignified help for families, too. BONZA, !

My husband Ben Davison has same-sex parents and ours is a proud and powerful extended rainbow family, committed to the care of our own and the community beyond. This Cumberland council decision is divisive, discriminatory bullshit!

Public schools educate the vast majority of children with a disability, yet aren’t fully funded to do so.

With full funding, public schools could hire more support staff members like Brittany and give every child the help they need.

Anthony Albanese you can make it happen. 👀

The challenges are too great and the cost of inaction too high for governments to continue to fail on public school funding.

Anthony Albanese must work with the states & territories to deliver full funding for all public schools now!

Did you happen to catch last night's episode of ?

Liberal Party MP Paul Fletcher made some thinly-veiled promises to Australian workers: elect the Coalition at the next election, and they'll do everything they can to attack and repeal work rights.

We welcome the $400 payment to help families, but this does not solve the bigger issue of widespread underfunding of public schools. Our members, and their schools and students, urgently need Fair Funding Now.

At South Geelong Primary School talking to parents and teachers during drop-off this morning.

They all agree that our children in public schools deserve the best education possible.

Anthony Albanese don’t shortchange our kids. Full funding now!

Governments support companies all the time.
Governments support research and development all the time.
Every government decision and policy is a “bet” that it will improve people’s lives.
We’ve just had a decade of doing nothing. That bet was a loser.

Sally McManus with a point of order (directed to Paul Fletcher) sums up logic perfectly.

“That’s ridiculous”

(to obvious audience approval)
