This morning teachers, parents, principals and state Education Ministers gathered in front of the Parliament of Australia with a message to the Albanese Labor Government.

The ALP promised to fund all public schools to the full SRS. This offer locks in a DECADE more of continued UNDERFUNDING of public schools in NSW - while private schools continue to be over funded. Do better @JasonClareMP
Keep your promise @AlboMP @TeachersFed Full funding now!
The fact that five states and one territory are refusing to sign the current deal is a clear sign that the offer is not good enough.
Political disagreements should not get in the way of supporting schools and delivering this critical funding. #auspol

Gillian Triggs, former Asst High Commissioner for Protection, @UNrefugees addresses the #WorldRefugeeDay Lunch. Refugees need our protection. The world needs to wrap around them, provide support and safety. This must include access to education at all levels. @TeachersFed

2/2 ...Actually, nope, that's not true — nuclear is so expensive, it's costed to drive up household energy bills by 500%, and would take many decades to build. That's why the Liberals never go near it when in power. They just talk it up in opposition coz they APRIL FOOLS 😁

Yes👇 Scripture should not be interfering in learning time and has no place in our public education system @TeachersFed
Should scripture become an after-school option in NSW public schools? Tonight our exclusive data which shows in some Hunter schools 99 percent of students are opting out of scripture (SRE). Fmr justice Hon. Michael Kirby joins a growing chorus, calling for reform. @nbnnews at 6.

Thanks @Craig_Foster for your advocacy of human rights & your support of asylum seekers & refugees. It is not illegal to seek asylum! The @ASCSyd celebrated 30yrs of outstanding work for refugee communities. Fabulous night of inspiring stories & people!

Hate re-sharing this stuff but people have been talking about this for ages (and for hundreds of years before I was born).
