instead of domestic violence awareness round in footy why don’t we, idk, hold the laundry list of players who are accused of committing heinous crimes against women accountable for once? or we can have a themed jersey or whatever

crazy that a child was murdered and his
mother stabbed and also three young men were shot, all because they are palestinian and that’s not even in the conversation about who is safe in america right now

Did a graph for the column and then took it out because of room. So you can all have it.

General reminder - politicians are not your friends and should be held to account and criticised when they fall short. Doing so is not an endorsement of anyone else or another party. You should want your politicians to learn, to be better and work towards solutions.

Wow

New capital funding for public schools? Great!

Except it isn't new.

Australia's 6700 public schools had to compete for $250k from a one-off $215.8m fund Labor announced in 2022.

In 2022 alone the feds gave $148m to 147 private schools in capital grants.

That's a million each.

Ahh bugger. Rachel Withers is an absolute gun. Here's hoping someone snaps you up.

I thought this was beautiful and terribly sad and it has done nothing to perk up my day which tbh was already a bit flat. Great cartoon from Firstdog Onthemoon.

Sleeping in a bed with a roof over my head to raise awareness for the younger generation who can’t afford it.

At 18, my academic advisor told me that “higher education might not be for you” as I struggled my 1st year at Uni. I was determined to prove him wrong. Yesterday, this first-generation, state-schooled student graduated from Cambridge with a PhD.

State school kids, you can do it!

Public schools get an average of $2,941 per eligible disabled student, while more than 100 private schools get more than $10,000 student on average.

A scientology school is getting $16,000 per disabled student.
