Not surprised that Victorian teachers are considering industrial action.
Vic teachers are the lowest paid in Aus & last year Jacinta Allan's Labor Gov cut $2.4 billion from public schools, most of which would have gone to boosting school staff & increasing teacher salaries. 1/4

If policing is about crime alone, why does Yarra see less surveillance than Greater Dandenong, despite higher crime rates?
This new study exposes the myth that Vic Police simply “go where the crime is.”

The recent despicable alleged racial attack against a Victorian Imam and his wife in South Gippsland reflects an accelerating rise of structural and overt anti-Muslim hate and racism.
White supremacist ideologies must be confronted and stamped out.

We are so pleased that our campaign for emergency funding for cohealth has been successful, with the federal government hearing the community and ensuring GP funding until 31 July 2026. BUT we need a LONG-TERM solution and support from the Victorian Labor Government.

The Jacinta Allan Labor Government’s decision to introduce life sentences for children proves once again that Labor is only interested in cynical attempts to look tough - not implementing policies that actually work to improve community safety. 🧵 (1/4)

Victorian children deserve a safeguarding system that leaves no room for predatory behaviour to take hold.
Now more than ever, we must ensure that our child safe frameworks and systems are not only vigilant in identifying risks, but also prompt and effective in taking decisive action.

Far-right extremists marched with racist, anti-immigrant, and anti-Indigenous hatred before attacking First Nations people at Camp Sovereignty.

Recognition of Palestine should have happened decades ago and is a fundamental right that the Australian Government has denied for too long.
Now we need action: Australia must sanction Israel & end the two-way arms trade.
Recognition won’t feed starving kids or stop the bombs.

The Israeli Government is starving Gaza.
Over 111 dead, and counting.
Children & elderly starving at record rates.
Enough food exists, but Israel blocks aid, and slaughters civilians seeking scraps.
This is deliberate mass starvation. A crime against humanity. An act of genocide.

More than 100 aid agencies, including Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children and Oxfam, say ‘our colleagues and those we serve are wasting away’
Palestine Red Crescent says the situation in Gaza is “only getting worse”, with spokesperson Nebal Farsakh calling it an “unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe”.
Farsakh said in a video posted to X on Tuesday that there has been no food, clean water or medicine entering the Gaza Strip for more than four months.
This has resulted in a catastrophe where people are literally starving to death.
More people are being admitted to hospitals with malnutrition especially among children, pregnant women and the elderly. Continue reading...

Private childcare has become a money-making machine, prioritising profit over caring for children.
Shocking abuse, like what was revealed last week, doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s a product of a sector that cuts corners, breaches staffing ratios & neglects child safety for the sake of corporate 💰
