Once again this reeks of corrupt cronyism by the Liberal Party. State & federal based childcare is what’s required! @jasonclaremp.bsky.social #BlaxlandVotes @australianlabor.bsky.social @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social @janecaro.bsky.social @sophiescamps.bsky.social #auspol

In my opinion, from childhood to adulthood the rich kids go from Dad pays to those in wigs.

Working class folk, who can’t afford big wigs, well, legal aid if you’re lucky.

One teaches “do what ya like and get away with it”

The other teaches actions have consequences.

I remember the “Dogs” & “Cats” education arguments from decades ago!
@janecaro.bsky.social and look where we are now!

Just because someone does not believe in your god, it does not give you the right to kill them.

Best Twitter riposte of the day. It's not question of "rooting for Iran to win." The question is whether the war is in the national interests of the US, is designed to achieve US interests, and can be pursued at a cost that a successful outcome would warrant, weighed against risks inherent in war.

Sometimes I get an inkling how climate scientists must feel. Why are politicians unable to act?

Our failure to fund #PublicEducation properly in #Australia has resulted in ever increasing community segregation and social inequity.

We were well and truly warned, weren‘t we, @janecaro.bsky.social ?

Jane Caro — why Australia is failing our school system - ABC listen We often hear about "failing schools", but what if it is us, the Australian community, who are failing them?  Public school advocate Jane Caro argues that Australia's pursuit of school choice, and the...

This private school tripled in size in five years — a trend playing out nationwide The latest schools data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows a tinderbox of problems that experts warn could explode with growing pressure on household budgets.

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03... Here is a targeted idea to help families with Cost of Living. Fund Public Schools properly. The subsidies for private schools must stop. Outrageous place for people to be wasting money. @janecaro.bsky.social

Britain is a nation where the richest 1% of households have greater wealth than the 80% poorest. Why the fuck would I risk my life and limb to defend the wealth, property and privilege of those crooked greedy cunts at the top. Fuck them and fuck Britain !

Not available here initially, I had a friend buy it for me in Oz and send it over. Loved it. It answered many questions for me, but more importantly, I hope it will open bystanders' eyes. What to look for in the now, rather than regrets and disbelief later. Later may be too late.

I read it a while ago. It was a really good read. More people should read it to learn some of the tell tale signs for women in trouble. It may invariably help save lives.

Watching Hillary Clinton cook James Comer & Republicans in her opening statement to the House Oversight Committee during her deposition is way better than just reading it.

Trump sends bombs.
Americans & civilians pay the price.

Ilhan Omar refuses to stay silent.
She calls out illegal war and demands Congress act.

The president is dragging the U.S. into an “illegal and unjustified war” without congressional approval.

This isn’t politics.
This is survival.
